Updated Developmental Markers for Kids

Heads-up for parents: Earlier this year, the CDC revised the milestones it uses to help caregivers track children's development for the first time since they were created in 2004. These markers are used to make sure children are hitting goals like rolling from tummy to back (which babies can typically do by 6 months), saying Mama or Dada or another special word for a caregiver (12 months) or clapping when excited (15 months).
