Your baby, 11 months 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 and older

Your baby is getting ready to take his first steps! He can stand on his own and if you hold onto his hands, he will walk. He does a good job of bending, squatting, stooping and getting back to a standing position. You might be able to tell if he is going to be right or lefthanded.

Your baby knows that people and objects have names. Expand her vocabulary by continuing to read, sing and talk to her. If you laugh at something your baby does, she will do it again. She will imitate everything that you do. She sees an expression on your face and will mimic it. She is learning what animals and people do. If she sees a cat ot dog, she will meow and bark. If your baby knows that you are dissapointed or upset with her, she will hide from you.

Each baby is different and develops at different paces. Just because your first child walked at 11 months, does not mean this child will. If you are concerned about your child's development, speak to his doctor. Remember that the more you interact and guide him, the more he will develop. If your baby gets frustrated when trying to do something new, don't push him. This will cause him to get frustrated and he will lose self confidence.

Show your child what you expect out of him. Realistic expectations will help your child follow directions better. She is still learning what is acceptable and what is not, and it is your job to guide her. Avoiding situations where you have to constantly redirect your baby will make it easier on you and him both. Love, attention and affection are all part of effective discipline. Always remember to praise your child when you see her being appropriate.

Toys that are good for this age are: books, push toys, ride on toys, balls, stacking rings, simple puzzles, telephones, puppets, large cars and trucks, shape boxes, pegboards and pegs, linking toys, large blocks, toys with textures, noisy toys, dolls and stuffed animals. Pretend play toys are also appropriate. Dress up clothes, hats and pretend foods are all good for little learners.

Your child is probably eating a wide variety of foods at this point. She is also getting better control of using a spoon, although alot still ends up in the floor. Although she is still nursing or being bottle-fed formula, she should be drinking juice or water from a cup. Remember to offer her a wide variety of nutritional foods. Establishing healthy eating habits now will go along ways in the future.

Well I haven't been on here since having my daughter 11 months ago. She just started getting two teeth, she walks, uses sign language and loves groups of people. She also loves rain and wind lol. For those moms who are weaning around the one year mark what are your food/ milk plans?

hey ladies. I haven't been on in like 5 months but Cameron is doing really well after his surgery (he had hypospadious) and will be 1 next month onthe 9th!! He is 21 lbs and has 6 teeth. I 've been trying to introduce him to table food but he has bad eczema and its hard to determine what foods are making his skin flare up. Hopefully he will grow out of it soon. I have to scroll back to read up on everyone else soon.

N turned 11 months on the 6th of November. He is a wonderful lil boy. He is walking, heck almost running. He is climbing... he is trying to talk: so far its mama, dada, baba (bottle) and doggy. He loves music and to dance to it. He eats EVERYTHING and loves whole milk which the doctor had us switch to. I just love him to peices!!!!

MY DS just turned 11 months, weighs 24 pounds, just started walking two days ago, and has 12 teeth. He has recently started to go up to his cousins (2yo and 3yo) and grab a toy that they have and scream a high pitched scream so they let go. OMG! He is adorable but he is going to be a little trouble maker. I'm going to try to make that stop here.

killersushi13 - Tuesday, 23 Oct
So, I'm kind of curious. How many teeth does your LO have? Aleistor is working on his top two molars now totaling to 12 teeth!!! Crazy, right? He'll be turning one on Nov. 1st. What about your LO? :)

Wow, Taylor is really growing up. Holdyn is walking everywhere. She started walking at 9 months. She has 6 teeth. She is trying to communicate. Loves her older siblings and is a joy.

lilyxox19 - Tuesday, 28 Aug
@naomi Wow she is big!! She is like twice the size of my son lol. Taylor weighs 17 lbs even right now and he turned 11 months old on the 21st. He is still on a high calorie formula diet right now. And he is still way off the charts. He is walking like crazy. Well not even walking, more like running then falling. But he is making it further and further walking before falling. He also can drink for a regular glass cup (he likes to sip what I'm drinking--chocolate milk. He tried orange juice but didn't like it. I'm trying to get him to drink his formula from the glass but its a work in progress. He also feeds himself now. I've been giving him little plate of whatever I'm eating, then I will take the fork and put some food on it then set it down. Taylor will pick up the fork and put it in his mouth. Then he hands me the fork back. As for talking...well he still babbles a lot. No new words here. He will say Dada, Mama, kitty, and cat.

Just stopping in since i am never on here anymore, doesn't even look like the same people lol. anyway, Kami is 11 months and 1 day and doing fantastic!! She has 6 teeth, walks (when she feels like it), weighs close to 30 lbs!, she's starting to say a lot more words, and has developed a hefty little attitude!! she's a handful, especially with me being 8 months pregnant, not sure how she is going to do with another baby but i guess we will soon find out :) hope all the babies are growing and doing well!!!

My daughter just turned 11 months a few days ago and recently her and my oldest daughter who is only 3 and half have began to have a few squabbles. The baby has been pulling her hair and slapping, all accidentally. Just wondering when a good age is for starting discipline? Right now I know my baby girl would not understand it but I feel bad when my oldest daughter who is still so young too is staring at me saying 'Mommy she hit me.'

Hi all, just wanted to share something with you. I recently wrote a book which most women will relate to and probably find to be a nice escape, which makes them laugh and feel 'normal'. It is a book about a housewife's (mine) innermost thoughts and emotions. It is quick and easy. However, if you are faint of heart or easily offended, stay away. It is only $.99 on Amazon. If you need to, you can download the Kindle E-reader for FREE and have access to dozens of other free and discounted books! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008A298NU

Just thought I would pop in and leave an update on life and Aria. Her first birthday is next Wednesday but we are having a super girly party with our family and friends on Sunday, can't wait. She has started actually walking around the house now with confidence and babbles away constantly. She still doesn't sleep well, we have the odd night where she sleep through, but most nights, no:( she generally has 2 one hour sleeps in the day.She doesn't eat very well, the little she does eat she wants to feed herself so has just started eating with a spoon and is doing ok. Because she isnt' eating very well she is still on 4-5 180ml bottles a day, but am planning to cut out 1-2 after her birthday and really concentrate on the food. She is so gorgeous, really friendly and happy and bubbly all the time. We have just found out that we are pregnant with our third baby, due around March next year! How's everyone else doing???

Hello ladies! Haven't been here in sooo long!! Sage will b 1 year old next month! Cant believe how time just goes by soooo fast! Sage only has one tooth and is not really walking yet... but she is very smart! I love her so much! I have a quick question, hope someone can help... Can there b another reason (other than implantation) to bleed a little (pink-brown) for a couple of days 8-10 days before period, and 5-6 after sex? Im scared!!! I think i might b pregnant, but its a bit early to know....

Hope the birthday party was wonderful, Shabs! Happy birthday to your little one too!

shabs78 - Wednesday, 13 Jun
Happy first birthday mugs! My lo turns one on Saturday... Like wowwee, I feel like it was just yesterday that I was pregnant and counting down the days.. This last year has flown! My mother has planned this huge party for her granddaughter, I gave up arguing with her to have something small so in the end i just said go for it! Lol.

jesikahh - Saturday, 9 Jun
hello, I'm new here lol... I've been following this website since about halfway through my pregnancy but never bothered making an account until now since i just found out im expecting again!! my daughter will be 11 months old in a week

mugs - Tuesday, 5 Jun
Em will be a year on the 13th! My last baby is almost a toddler! That went fast....Em is working on her sixth tooth and has been walking well for a week or so now. I am surprised with her speech, although I am sure it is having two older siblings to keep up with that motivates her! She says many words and will attempt to copy anything you tell her to...not that it comes out clearly! She even says 'poop' while I change her diaper...cracks me up! :)

wowwee - Sunday, 3 Jun
Hi Shabs how are you both? I can't believe it! I can rem the pregnancy like it was yesterday and can remember every second of the day I gave birth! I k ow it sounds odd but sometimes I feel kicks in my stomach just like when pregnant. Must be gas and I'm just rely intune with my body:) lo is crawling now but no where near walking, and has 2 teeth. He is beautiful and I feel very lucky to have him! Working sucks though and I hate being away from him and also feel so tired sometimes because its like I never stop and just do nothing for even 10 mins. I keep playing the lottery and praying!!!

shabs78 - Saturday, 2 Jun
Hey wowwee! Haven't been on in a while. How's ur lo doing? Can you believe it's time to start planning first bday parties!? Too fast.

wowwee - Sunday, 27 May
Lo 11 months old already, this year has gone way too fast:(

lilmeh2 - Tuesday, 17 Apr
im I have finished breastfeeding for about 1 week. I have noticed my right breast is quite lumpy, with one larger lump, painful to touch. Should i just leave it and put though it or do i do something about it? do these clogged ducts pose as a problem or just part of the weaning phase? Also, how long after stopping breastfeeding did you get your period back? How long does it normally take?
