Children develop at different rates, but most follow a general timeline
(though preemies may be off schedule by a few weeks or months). If your
child doesn't seem to be meeting milestones within several weeks of the
average, ask his pediatrician about it. It may be nothing, but if your child
does have a delay, you'll want to catch it early so you can get a diagnosis
and begin treatment.

As a general rule, trust your instincts. If something seems odd or wrong to
you about the way your baby moves, ask about it. After all, you know your
child best. The following are possible warning signs of a problem; print
this out and use it as a checklist to measure your baby's development.
