When something's not right

Your baby might reach some developmental milestones ahead of schedule and lag behind a bit on others. This is normal. It's a good idea, however, to be aware of the signs or symptoms of a problem.

Consult your baby's doctor if you're concerned about your baby's development or your baby:

• Doesn't roll over in either direction or sit with help
• Doesn't bear some weight on legs
• Doesn't try to attract attention through actions
• Doesn't babble
• Shows no interest in games of peekaboo

Trust your instincts. The earlier a problem is detected, the earlier it can be treated. Then you can set your sights on the milestones that lie ahead.
