Infancy is a truly awesome time for physical development.
Here are some important milestones you can watch for during your child's first 12 months of life. During her newborn weeks, you'll notice that when baby is on her back and her head is turned to the right, her right arm extends and her right leg flexes. If her head is turned to the left, then her left arm extends and that leg flexes. Two other early reflexes help with nursing. The rooting reflex enables an infant to turn his head toward the breast as his cheek brushes against it.
