DEVELOPMENTAL MILESTONES
A guide for every stage.
Explore developmental milestones from 2 months to 5 years, with additional feeding and sensory resources from Belly & Mind.
Milestones are guides, not deadlines. CDC milestones describe skills most children (75% or more) can do by an age. If you have concerns or your child loses skills, talk with their healthcare provider.

SOURCE: Age-specific milestone examples adapted from CDC Learn the Signs. Act Early. These age-specific summaries cover the CDC milestone items, paraphrased for readability. For official wording, use the linked CDC checklists. This guide does not replace standardized developmental screening. Feeding guidance through age 3 is adapted from ASHA feeding and swallowing milestones; ages 4–5 offer general mealtime participation ideas, not age-based milestones. Sensory cards describe optional exploration activities, not standardized milestones. All feeding and sensory content should be reviewed by the Belly & Mind clinical team before publication.
