1 Month Baby Development

Your 1 month old baby Welcome to the Month by Month baby development section! All the information given throughout this section of our website is based on a full term baby, weighing 7 pounds and measuring 20 inches at birth, which is what the average is.

Should your baby be small, growth may be less in a given week, and so the same holds true for a larger baby, where the growth may be more. Should your baby be born premature, then the growth and weight gain may be delayed, but they do usually catch up.

Each month is broken up to the 4 weeks of which they comprise as there is just simply too much information to place in one page. These articles can always be found below the Monthly developmental milestones.

Special Feature

Preventing SIDs
It is something that all of us worry about and remains in our minds during those early months in our children's lives. It causes many restless nights and the endless checking on our babies to make sure they are breathing.

Tummy Time Tactics
So what is this "tummy time" that everyone is always talking about? Quite simply, it is an important part of a babies development and a special time that a baby needs to spend laying on their tummies.

Group B Strep Swab
There are many different tests you will have to do during pregnancy and one that is given routinely is called a Group B Streptococcus swab. This test is very important and should not be taken lightly.

Fun Games For Baby
