Babies almost all try crawling to get from Point A to Point B, but CDC says it’s not a useful developmental milestone

Infant milestones can be a source both of pride and anxiety for a new parent. Baby’s firsts – first tooth, first steps, first word – are moments of joy that many parents immediately compare with charts listing “normal” age ranges for each achievement to occur.
