• Learning the names of familiar people and things
• Developing spatial skills and understanding how to use objects
• Communicating with sounds, gestures, and words

• Feeding themselves and drinking from a cup
• Talking and listening, singing, reading, moving, playing outside, and eating healthy foods

At 11 months old, babies are typically reaching several developmental milestones. Keep in mind that every baby develops at their own pace, so some may achieve these milestones earlier or later than others. Here are some common milestones you might see in an 11-month-old baby:

1. Physical Development:

   • Crawling, pulling up to stand, or even taking first steps.
   • Ability to pick up small objects using the thumb and forefinger (pincer grasp).
   • Improved hand-eye coordination, allowing them to manipulate toys and objects more skillfully.

2. Cognitive Development:

   • Increased curiosity about their surroundings, showing interest in exploring objects and their environment.
   • Understanding simple instructions or gestures, such as "wave bye-bye" or "give me the toy."

3. Language and Communication:

   • Babbling with more consonant sounds and possibly saying simple words like "mama" or "dada" with meaning.
   • Responding to their name when called.
   • Gesturing or pointing to indicate what they want or need.

4. Social and Emotional Development:

   • Developing a stronger attachment to primary caregivers.
   • Enjoying interactive games like peek-a-boo.
   • Demonstrating emotions such as happiness, frustration, or sadness more prominently.

5. Feeding and Motor Skills:

   • Eating a variety of solid foods and possibly self-feeding with fingers.
   • Drinking from a sippy cup or learning to use a straw.
   • Developing chewing skills and handling a wider range of textures in food.

6. Sleep Patterns:

   • Beginning to establish more predictable sleep patterns, though night waking may still occur.
   • Napping about 2-3 times a day, with naps becoming more regular in duration.

7. Teething:

   • Some babies may already have several teeth, while others may be teething or showing signs of discomfort as teeth begin to emerge.

8. Exploration and Play:

   • Enjoying interactive toys that engage their senses, such as toys with sounds, textures, and bright colors.
   • Exploring objects by banging them together, shaking them, or dropping them to see what happens.

It's important to remember that every child develops at their own pace, and these milestones serve as general guidelines. If you have concerns about your child's development, always consult with your pediatrician or GP.
