11-month-old baby: his development!
Now let’s look at the development area by area:
Your 11-month-old’s motor development:
- Your baby will already start to take a few steps on his own. (1 or 2)
- They can stand on their own.
- If he is standing, he can bend down to pick up a toy next to him.
- When eating, he will want to put the spoon to his mouth and will try to drink from a cup.
- He’s going to use his index finger and thumb to grab crumbs,
- He likes to put things in and out of different containers.
- If you give him a book, he’ll turn a page.
- Climbs stairs.
Cognitive Development:
At this age, he knows what it means to say “no”- He asks you for the toys or objects he wants.
- He knows that the cat meows, the dog barks, the lion roars, the cow moans, and associates sounds with animals.
- He knows what he is doing and its consequences.

- He expresses his emotions and what he wants, using gestures.
Socio-affective development:
- It’s going to become a lot more dependent on you.
- He’ll grab hold of your hair, your clothes, wherever he can, he’ll give you kisses. It will cling to you, seeking your protection.
- He begins to understand that others also suffer and have pain, which is why, if someone cries, he will too, this is a way of saying “I am with you”, “I understand you”
