CDC Releases App To Track Their Child’s Developmental Milestones

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released an app to help parents celebrate their child's developmental milestones and share information if there is a developmental concern. The Free "Milestone Tracker" app lets parents track, assist, and gauge developmental milestones in their child's early years.

The app provides milestone checklists for children aged two months to five years, and offers pointers at where parents may want to consult with their child's doctor. For example, most two-month old children begin smiling at people, develop self-calming methods like sucking a hand or a thumb . . .
