Baby motor skills are roughly divided into two types: gross motor (large muscle movements) and fine motor (hands and fingers). Here are milestones by age:
0–3 months: Turns head to the side, moves arms and legs symmetrically on their back. Lifts head briefly while on their belly.
3–6 months: Sits with support, rolls from back to front, starts reaching for objects.
6–9 months: Sits briefly without support, begins crawling (moving backward is normal too), passes objects from one hand to the other.
9–12 months: Pulls up to standing holding furniture, cruises along furniture, some babies take first steps. Fine motor develops a thumb-and-finger grasp (pincer grasp).
12–18 months: Walks independently, can bend and pick things up, stacks small blocks.
18–24 months: Runs, starts climbing stairs, opens doors, scribbles with a crayon.
Remember: every baby develops at their own pace. Gaps of 1–2 months are normal. But if your baby loses a skill they once had, or takes longer than 3 months past the typical age for a milestone, talk to your pediatrician.
