What your baby should expect: parental milestones for the first year

Article Abstract:

A parent should be able to change a diaper without consulting anyone and sing lullabies using real words by the end of the baby's first month. By the end of the third month, the parent should be able to cradle baby on shoulder while opening mail and change any diaper without soiling own clothes. By the sixth month, a parent should be able to pass an object from one hand to another while talking on the phone, washing dishes and hold the baby.
