If you want to give your Infant the best chance at a good life, reaching as many Milestones as you can is one of the best ways to get started. We’ve compiled a list of all Infant Milestones and how to reach them so your sims can live full, enriched lives!
Although Infants are now a Base Game life stage in The Sims 4, the Growing Together expansion added oodles of extra content to sims’ lives that begin when they’re born. One of the more notable additions is Milestones, which inform a sim’s life as they grow and age.
Infant Milestones – Unlock Them All!
There are over 30 Infant Milestones your sim can reach that break down into 5 categories: Life, Firsts, Gross Motor Skills, Fine Motor Skills, and Social Milestones. Here’s a list of them all and how to achieve them!

| First Baby Food | Firsts | Once the Infant learns to lift their head and sit up, they can be seated in the High Chair and fed Baby Food by a caretaker |
| First Finger Food | Firsts | Learn to Pincher Grasp so Infant can hold food themselves and then feed them in the High Chair |
| First Diaper Blowout | Firsts | Be holding an Infant when their Bladder need runs out and they may “do their duty” in the caregiver’s hands! |

Closing Thoughts
As you can see, there are a bunch of different moments your Infant can experience that all build upon each other to unlock even more of them. A lovely side effect of reaching these Infant milestones is that because so many of them require caregiver interaction, your sims will be growing their relationships with their Infants at the same time. It’s a win-win!
Have you unlocked all Infant Milestones yet? If not, we hope this list has provided useful information so you can unlock those final elusive achievements. Have fun with your Infants, and happy simming!
