No two babies are the same, which means no two babies' milestones will be the same. The main categories for newborns include physical milestones, social milestones, and sensory milestones. It is important for parents to never compare their child's milestone progress to another child's; most children eventually reach these goals despite the pressure parents put on them to do so. Developmental milestones are only meant to serve as guidelines.
