Note that there can be some physical deviations in the development of babies up to a year. For example, many infants begin to walk after one year, and may start talking at about 2-3 years. However, we can direct the child's development within the first year in the right direction and help him to develop properly, for example, with the daily exercises and massage, as well as simple educational games.
