Development milestones - Occupational Therapy (0-12 months) (GLORY TO GOD PPEC)

In this video, we will discuss the developmental milestones for babies from 0-12 months, particularly from the perspective of occupational therapy. These milestones are important to monitor as they provide a basis for assessing a baby's growth and development. Understanding these milestones can also help parents and caregivers identify any potential developmental delays early on and seek the necessary support.

0-3 months:
During this stage, babies are beginning to develop their motor skills. They may start lifting their heads, turning their heads towards sounds, and grasping objects with their hands. They also begin to develop their sensory skills, responding to sounds and engaging with people through eye contact and facial expressions.

3-6 months:
At this stage, babies start to become more active and mobile. They may begin rolling over, sitting up, and even crawling. They continue to develop their fine motor skills, grabbing and reaching for objects with more precision. They also start to babble and make sounds, developing their communication skills.

6-9 months:
During this stage, babies are becoming more independent and adventurous. They may start to pull themselves up and stand with support, and some may even take their first steps. They become more vocal, saying their first words, and understand simple instructions. They also start to develop their problem-solving skills, figuring out how to manipulate objects and solve simple puzzles.

9-12 months:
By this stage, babies are becoming more confident in their movement and coordination. They may be walking on their own or with minimal support, and some may even begin to run. They become more expressive, using a wider range of sounds and gestures to communicate. They also start to imitate actions and play more creatively, demonstrating their cognitive and social development.


In conclusion, monitoring a baby's developmental milestones is crucial to ensuring that they are growing and developing at a healthy pace. Occupational therapy can play an important role in helping babies who may have delays or difficulties in reaching these milestones. If you have concerns about your baby's development, it is important to speak to your healthcare provider or an occupational therapist to seek support and guidance.
