How much do you know about baby's development?

Babies learn about things by putting them in their mouth. Do they really have to taste it to know it?

No that’s wrong, they learn about things by holding them and playing with them
Yep that’s true, it’s called sensorimotor development

In the first year, you can expect your baby’s birth weight to:

Triple
Quadruple

Those jerky movements you see in your newborn are there because:

She’s mimicking the swim movements from being in the womb
Her developing brain has not yet made the connections for purposeful movements
She is extremely sensitive to touch and sound

You can expect your baby to coo in response to your words to her at about what age?

8 months

When your 10-month-old, who’s always been content when you leave him with Grandma, all of the sudden screams and clings as you walk out, this means:

Grandma must be mistreating him when you’re gone
He’s made a huge cognitive leap and is more attached and aware of your absence
He’s figured out how to manipulate you into doing what he wants you to do
