🤎 My Baby’s Development Checklist | 0–12 Months

Celebrate the little milestones that mean so much! 🌿

The first 12 months of a baby’s life are full of wonderful changes, exciting discoveries and precious firsts. From those first smiles and sounds to reaching for toys, rolling over and exploring the world around them, there is so much to notice and celebrate!

But let’s face it — life gets busy, and sometimes those little details are easy to forget.

That’s why I’ve created this My Baby’s Development Checklist, a simple, practical printable to help you record your baby’s developing skills and keep those special observations in one handy place.

🤎 WHAT’S INCLUDED?

This beautifully illustrated checklist features six key areas of early development:

👀 Looking and Listening — noticing colours, faces, sounds and movement.

🖐️ Reaching and Grasping — exploring objects and developing hand skills.

🧸 Moving the Body — observing emerging movement and physical skills.

💬 Communicating — recording early sounds, gestures and expressions.

❤️ Connecting with People — noticing smiles, relationships and responses to familiar people.

🌿 Exploring and Discovering — observing curiosity and interactions with the world.

✨ WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

✔️ A simple, easy-to-use observation checklist.

✔️ Individual date boxes to record when you notice each skill.

✔️ Space to write your own observations and next steps.

✔️ A handy record to keep safe and look back on as your baby grows.

✔️ Useful for parents, grandparents and carers who want to document their little one’s progress.

✔️ Can be taken along to health visitor appointments to help you discuss your observations and any questions you may have.

🌱 A LITTLE REMINDER

Every baby is unique, and development happens at different rates. This checklist is designed as a general observation aid, not a diagnostic tool or a way to compare babies.

If you have any concerns about your baby’s development, speak to your health visitor or another appropriate healthcare professional.
