How can infants learn milestones faster? [Growing Together]

It feels like infants learning milestones takes a lot of spamming the same interaction over and over and takes a long time. Maybe if the person teaching them has a high Parenting skill or the Family-Oriented trait they learn faster? Is there anything we as the player can do to get infants to speed up a bit when they learn their milestones?

Their traits or quirks might effect how they learn things. Trying different activities in rotation and filling needs in different ways might make it easier to find them than repeating the same interaction.
I had a Sim attempt to teach an infant to stand like 12 times in a row, but they still never learned it. I then switched over to teach to crawl and the infant learned that after the 3rd action. So I’m still at a loss in terms of understanding.
If it helps, I found the infant learned to pull himself up in my game after I let him play in a room with a sofa. His parents had been teaching him to stand and then he suddenly went straight over there and did it himself.
There's a balance, I think. Some activities and milestones require a caregiver to help, others the infant can do alone if left to his/her own devices.

I actually came here to make a similar post! Toddler interactions are fun; infant interactions are limited and have to be repeated forever until you can get them walking and talking. I'm finding raising an infant to be extremely grindy.
Maybe it's because toddlers can learn skills on their own, so it doesn't take much effort on your part. They can just go off and learn. But infants require you to tell your older Sim to interact with them. And you can have to select that interaction again and again and again... so it's less fun to me after a while. If infants could have little objects they can use on their own to learn their milestones and stuff I'd like it more.
Yea I hope it’s updated to add that functionality.
I took my time after baby was born. Even though, this time age up was in the menu from day one. (In said first experience, it didn't show up until day three). I didn't age him up until I got the notice, he was having a birthday soon. He's learning things in rapid pace, now, but without experimenting further, I'm not in a position to say that's the answer. He can crawl (although he won't do it consistently and doesn't have the milestone, as a result. but his latest milestone was blowing a kiss. (I missed seeing it, sadly.) As for his traits, he's cheeful; a happy spitter and can't recall what else at the moment.

Yeah it's annoying, but I couldn't wait LOL! I'll just have to keep my infant in place until they age up or whatever. I hope that will be good enough to keep their milestones. Not sure though.
