When your child turns 1 year old, celebrate this big moment! And use this birthday as a reminder to schedule a visit with your pediatrician to check on your child’s social, language, physical, and cognitive milestones. If you have concerns about your child’s development, share them with your baby’s doctor. Milestones matter.
