When do babies start to....?

Well I can tell you when my boys started, since every child is widely different it's impossible to give you a set age. But it's a good idea to have a general idea of when to expect these things to happen.

Crawling, my eldest skipped crawling entirely and went straight to walking. My youngest is now 5 months and hasn't started yet.

Walking my eldest started walking 2 days after his first birthday, I think boys might just be lazier than girls,hahah.

Talking: my eldest started talking at around 10 months, only mamma and papa, no and yes came shortly after that, but then he sort of stopped for a long time. But when he was a year old he started babbling all over the place and just kicked off like a rocket.

Teething: My eldest got his first tooth at 7 months and my youngest just got his first tooth at 5 months.

With both my boys their baby hair slowly fell out in the space of 4 months, with the real hair growing in slowly as the others fell out.

Holding: 4 months, both boys. I mean properly holding and reaching out for things.

My eldest started eating solids at 5 months and my youngest at 4 and a half months, though my doctor advised me to start them on solids, otherwise I would have waited the full 6 months.

I'm not sure what you mean by buggy, buy I'm not English so it's just a language barrier. My eldest used his pram until he was walking comfortably, 1 year and 6 months, and then I threw his wheels away. He hasn't used one since.

My eldest started sleeping in his own bed the same time he was taken off his pram, 1 year and 6 months. I used rails on his bed until he was 3. He did not use a pillow until he was 2, I wanted to wait longer, but he decided that he wanted a pillow so I got him a flat baby pillow.

My eldest went with mommy,pappa, yes, no and OK first, hello and buy-buy came next.

Sleeping through the night, at 2 years old, but he was breastfed until he was 2 so that might have something to do with it.

Hope it helps!!!!

FIrst of all, I'd recommend that you read some basic babycare books -- any book will answer most of these.

But:

Crawl -- Depends on the baby, some never crawl.

Walk -- averages around a year, but can be a little earlier or much later. (Docs don't worry unless baby isn't walking by 18 months or so.)

Talk -- also in the vicinity of year, but considerable variation.

Hair -- some babies are born with hair.

Hold things -- typically around 2-4 months

Eat solids -- solids are started at around 6 months. But I'm not clear why you are differentiating between 'solids' and 'baby mush'. Babyfood IS solids. And while most parents opt to start with baby food, some start with table foods, sometimes at the usual 6 months, sometimes not until 7-9 month or so.

Buggy vs. pram: Not understanding this one. A pram IS a buggy (UK terminology vs. US terminology). And prams/buggies come first. Once baby can sit up, they are usually switched to a stroller/push-chair.

Real bed: Depends on the baby and the parents. Anywhere between 18 months and 3-4 years.

First words: Depends.

None of these things you can really put an age to. My daughter crawled at 51/2 months. She says wow all day long... That started at 8 months, she started walking at 9 months. She started teething at 3 months, but didn't get teeth until 6 months. She was holding things at 2 months. Standing at 7 months. She ate food at 4 months. I would say toddlers get into beds. Every baby is different and special and will begin doing these things when they are ready.
