Physical milestones - What to expect and when
Below are some of the things you might expect your child to be doing at certain ages. It is unlikely that your child will be absolutely on target in all different areas of development. Milestones are used as a rough guide. The most important thing is your child is making steady progress at their own pace.
Always speak to your health visitor about a referral for the following…
An arm, leg or body being more floppy or stiff
Less movement in one arm or leg, or one side of their body
If, when picked up or held upright, their head remains floppy with no control
If they are not lifting arms up against gravity
If they lose physical skills
