Develomental milestones for babies

Hello Readers,

The miracle of life is shown through babies. Their sensory development is a miracle in itself. They are able to concentrate on what is important to them, because their eyes can only focus about 8 inches for the first month of life. So all they see is their parents, or caregiver at the time. The baby's hearing is about the same as an adult and they can be startled by loud noises. One fact remains the same, babies know their mothers because their sense of smell is developed for them to identify that. Babies eat and sleep in the first 3 months of life. They are constantly growing and learning as the days go by because smiles and other playfull gestures increase daily. Soon they have reached the 3 month mark and are smiling, recoginzing family members, and delighted to play games because of the attentio given to them.
