Important Updates to Milestone Age Ranges
We’ve updated our milestone age ranges to match guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Age ranges align with well-baby visits, to help prepare for appointments.
No action is needed if you have a Pathways.org account; your saved progress is still there and tracking works the same.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently adjusted their milestone age ranges to better line up with well-baby visits. Because we follow guidance from the AAP, we’ve updated our resources to reflect this change. We will always ensure you’re getting the most accurate and up-to-date information for Baby.
Here’s what this means for you:
Milestones and abilities in each age range should be met by the corresponding well-baby visit. That means you’ll be able to keep a closer eye on Baby’s development at just the right time, just before you check in with Baby’s healthcare provider.
This makes it easy to know what to expect at each stage, prepare questions, and bring up any concerns to Baby’s healthcare provider in a timely matter.
