Baby development progresses through a series of distinct stages, marked by specific physical, cognitive, and emotional milestones. These stages are typically categorized as newborn, infant, toddler, preschool, and school-age, with each stage building upon the previous one. While every child develops at their own pace, understanding these stages and milestones can help parents and caregivers track their child's growth and provide appropriate support. 

Key Developmental Stages:

Newborn (0-3 months):

Focuses on basic survival skills like feeding, sleeping, and establishing a bond with caregivers. Newborns begin to develop reflexes, track moving objects, and respond to sounds. 

Infant (3-12 months):

Involves rapid development of gross motor skills (like rolling, sitting, and crawling), fine motor skills (like grasping and reaching), and language skills (like babbling and cooing). Social-emotional development also progresses, with infants forming attachments and showing a range of emotions. 

Toddler (1-3 years):

Marked by increased independence, including walking, running, and learning new words and phrases. Toddlers also explore their environment, develop their sense of self, and begin to understand emotions. 

Preschool (3-4 years):

Focuses on further developing language, social, and emotional skills. Preschoolers learn to follow instructions, play cooperatively, and express themselves through words and actions. 

School-Age (4-5 years):

Involves preparing for formal schooling, developing literacy skills, and learning about the world around them. 

Prenatal Development:

Germinal Stage: Begins at conception and continues through the implantation of the fertilized egg, which is about two weeks after conception. 

Embryonic Stage: From week 4 to 10, key organs and body structures begin to form. 

Fetal Stage: From week 11 until birth, the baby and their organs continue to develop.
