How much do you know about baby's development?

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

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

Just for fun: How old is your baby?
