The CDC Learn the Signs. Act Early program revised its developmental milestone checklists in 2022. The milestones listed below are what 75% of children can do by each age, the threshold the CDC uses with the AAP to flag developmental concerns earlier. If your child has not reached a milestone by the listed age, talk to your pediatrician and ask about a referral for developmental evaluation. Early intervention is most effective before age three.
A diaper bag has to cover four scenarios: a typical outing, a feeding-on-the-go, a blowout, and a delay you did not plan for. This checklist is built from the lists most parents settle into after the first month: enough for a half-day trip, not so much you cannot lift it. Adjust quantities to your baby's age and feeding setup.
Everything the support partner needs for labor and delivery: documents, comfortable clothes, snacks for long shifts, charging gear, active birth tools, and items for the trip home.
