All babies develop at different rates and in different ways. Please do not worry if your baby is not doing all or any of the activities mentioned in the questionnaire. It is not a test. The activities are simply one way of understanding how your baby is progressing.

Possible answers:

Yes = your baby does this activity (or has done it and has now progressed, e.g., crawling, but is now walking)

Sometimes = your baby is just beginning to do this activity (but does not do it regularly)

Not Yet = your baby has not yet started doing this

Please leave blank any activities your baby has not been able to try with you.

On the following pages are questions about activities babies may do. Your baby may have already done some of the activities described here, and there may be some your baby has not begun doing yet. For each item, please fill in the circle that indicates whether your baby is doing the activity regularly (yes), sometimes, or not yet.

Important Points to Remember:

Try each activity with your baby before marking a response.
Make completing this questionnaire a game that is fun for you and your baby.
Make sure your baby is not tired or hungry.
Please bring this questionnaire with you to your baby’s health and development review.
