As a pediatrician and mom of four young kids, many parents ask me if their baby is developing normally.

Your baby will most likely have reached the developmental milestones for babies listed here at six months of age. Remember, your baby is unique, and each baby progresses through the milestones in their own way. Please do not hesitate to discuss any concerns with your health care provider.
