Your 11 month old baby

from 11 months to 1 year

Your little one is almost a year old! 

He/she might be exploring your home more than ever before. Whether she’s cruising around the living room furniture, standing on their own, or climbing up (but not down) the stairs, consider taking new steps to keep them safe.

It’s a good idea to install safety gates or other barriers at the top and bottom of stairs. Here are some other tips to help keep your baby safe:


  • Clear her play area of hard, sharp-edged furniture
  • Lower her crib mattress so she can’t crawl out or fall while she stands
  • Install childproof locks on drawers, screens, doors, and windows
  • Move pots and pans containing hot foods away from counter and table edges
  • Insert plug protectors in any unused electrical outlets
  • Store toxic substances (like household cleaners and products)

All babies develop at different rates. You should not be concerned if your baby does something later or earlier than other children. In general, by the end of her eleventh month, your baby will likely be able to do the following:


  • Walk with one hand held
  • Drink from a cup
  • Say one word other than “mama” or “dada”
  • Point or gesture to ask for something

Make photos of your active baby, upload to the App. Write briefly about his/her current development.
