Parents experience this many milestones in their baby’s first year

Описание

The average parent experiences nearly 50 milestones with their children within the first year, according to new research. Conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Horizon Organic, a survey of 2,000 parents of babies (9 months to 24 months) found that while many of these were expected, 78% agreed that important developmental and emotional milestones can come completely out of the blue. The survey found that parents impatiently waited for their baby’s first steps (66%) and words (62%), to hear them laugh (60%) or celebrate their first birthday (53%). Parents are also clearly just as excited for their baby to blow out that single candle or smash that cake as their child is. Forty-two percent of parents said it’s a chance for them to reflect on how far they’ve come and 70% believe that a birthday party is a way to celebrate all of the milestones their child has achieved.
