When Should My Baby Be Smiling, Rolling, or Walking?

Understanding Why Every Child is Different & How to Track Progress Using Bambii's Milestone Tracker

Welcome to the joyous journey of watching your baby grow! Every milestone, from the first smile to those first few steps, is a cause for celebration. However, as parents, it's normal to wonder if your baby is on the right track. Here's a helpful guide on what to expect and how to use Bambii's milestone tracker to monitor your little one’s development.

Understanding Baby Milestones

Babies develop at their own pace, which means some might reach milestones earlier or later than others. Common milestones include smiling, rolling over, sitting up, and walking. Here’s a general timeline:

Smiling

Most babies begin to smile socially (smiles in response to your smiles or voices) between 6 to 12 weeks. This is often an exciting early sign of social development.

Rolling Over

Rolling over usually happens around 4 to 6 months. Some babies start rolling as early as 3 months, while others may take a bit longer.

Sitting Up

The ability to sit up without support typically develops around 6 to 8 months. Earlier or later is not uncommon, depending on factors like muscle strength and overall development.

Walking

Walking is a big milestone that most children achieve between 9 to 18 months. Some adventurous tots may start walking as early as 9 months, while others may not walk until after their first birthday.

Why Every Child is Different

Genetics, environment, and interaction all play crucial roles in when a baby reaches a milestone. Premature babies may reach milestones later than full-term babies. Additionally, the amount of time parents and caregivers spend engaging directly with the baby can influence their development rates.
