Milestones is an exciting and important way to track the development of your baby. Here are things you might see your baby doing around 1 month of age. Your baby can: During tummy time, start to lift his upper body, stretch and kick her feet, open and shut her hands and grip objects. Attempt to reach for dangling objects, tare at things, but will not grab for them yet. Even at 1 month of age, your baby's language and communication skills are developing. Your baby can: Cry and fuss when hungry, wet, tired, in pain, or when he wants to be held. Hear mom's voice best because it reminds him of food and warmth. Make gurgling and cooing sounds when happy and content. Every child is different. Some of these behaviors and milestones generally occur at certain ages, however, a wide range of growth and behavior for each age is normal. Remember, if you have any concerns about your child's development, check with your pediatrician.
