Milestones

The first smile. Their first step. Waving “bye-bye.” Even raising a hand to give a “high-five.” These are all part of what are called “developmental milestones.” Children reach milestones as they play, learn, speak, act, and move.

Count the Kicks® App

Third trimester? It's time to start counting! Research proves the importance of monitoring your baby’s movement in the third trimester of pregnancy. The Count the Kicks® program makes it easy to become familiar with your baby's normal movement patterns. This daily practice is also a great way to bond with your baby before they arrive!

To get started, pick a time to track your baby's movement (kicks, jabs, pokes and rolls) every day using the Count the Kicks® app. You'll soon begin to see your baby's pattern. By counting every day you will have the peace of mind to know when your baby is moving like normal and feel empowered to contact your healthcare provider right away if there is a change in what's normal for your baby.

The Count the Kicks® app is FREE and available in more than 20 languages in the Apple and Google play app stores. Visit CountTheKicks.org to learn more and find more ways to count.
