The child's first anniversary is ahead. If you think about it, a newborn 4 weeks after birth and a baby at 11 months are almost the same age. But how tangible the difference! What about the development of a baby at 11 months? How can he please his parents and himself? His activity, natural curiosity, improvement of the skills acquired over these months and something new.

The physical state

The main point that can cause anxiety for overly suspicious parents is that in recent months the child has begun to grow less and gain weight. But this is completely normal, given that it now looks like a small battery-powered all-terrain vehicle: physical activity from the moment the baby got on all fours has increased significantly. So by 11 months the baby has grown by only 1 cm and gained about 300 grams. Now its height can be from 66 to 80 cm, weight - between 7 and 12 kg.

Physical activity has now reached such a level that parents constantly need to be on the alert: the baby can endlessly fall, stumble, lose balance, "not fit" into the door. Therefore, the territory accessible to him should be maximally secured for the crumbs, equipping with closers, holders and plugs everything that is possible, removing everything dangerous, small from the child's path, all electrical cords, "driving" rugs, glass objects.

What can an 11 month old baby do?

• Sit confidently and for a long time with a flat back without support.
• Sit down, get up from a sitting position, lying down, on all fours.
• Crawling a lot and confidently is now the kid's favorite pastime.
• Climb the stairs, holding on to the support.
• Climb onto a bed or sofa, get down from them correctly, reaching the floor with your legs.
• Walk near the support, sometimes break away from it and stand on your own for a while.
• Coordination has become much better: now, in order to pick up a fallen toy from the floor, the baby does not have to flop on the bottom: he can bend over or sit down, and to take the toy, he opens his palm to the size of this toy.
• Large motor skills have become more perfect: the baby himself holds the cup, can assemble a pyramid, a turret of 2-3 cubes, transfer various objects from one container to another.
• Progress has taken place in development fine motor skills: the child already independently holds a spoon, knows how to take objects with his fingers, so he can pick up, for example, a barely noticeable crumb from the floor. Can tear off pieces from a sheet of paper, pinch off small pieces of plasticine.

During such activities, do not leave the crumbs alone so that they do not swallow harmful particles.

If we talked about the daily routine, there were no visible changes in the last 2 months. The baby sleeps about 13-14 hours a day, eats 5 times, as it was in the 9th month. His diet is increasingly similar to that of an adult.

There are 2 important points to keep in mind here.

1. For full development, the child needs to be outdoors for at least 4 hours daily. If the weather does not allow, you can ventilate the room.
2. 1.5-2 hours before bedtime, it is important to stop all stormy and noisy amusements, mobile, emotional games so that by nightfall the psyche of the crumbs had time to tune in to sleep.

Mental development

A real breakthrough has also taken place in this area. For example, now a baby can repeat the same action many times, achieving a result (say, string a naughty pyramid ring on a rod or climb up and down from a stool). This ability to concentrate attests to the correct development of the psyche.

The development of an 11-month-old baby in psycho-emotional terms is truly impressive.

• Now the baby trusts more people to whom the parents show affection.
• Can fulfill a variety of simple requests (give, lift, show, give, bring, wave your hand, say something, do it like mom).
• Finds and brings the named toy.
• Actively imitates adults in everything, copying not only their sounds or intonations, but also patterns of behavior. In their games, which are already becoming role-playing, 11-month-old children imitate the stereotypes of the behavior of a father or mother that they already have. Now these are not just babies, but small members of society: boys try to behave like a man, girls - like a woman (although they do not yet realize their belonging to a particular gender). The former drive cars, carry loads, build or repair something, show strength and dexterity by climbing chairs or bedside tables; the second - they cook, pump and feed the dolls, clean the toy house, dress up in mother's things, paint her face with makeup.
• Imitating adults, the kid is happy to play finger games with them ("okay", "magpie-crow"). The child claps his hands, bends his fingers, thereby developing fine motor skills that contribute to the development of speech.

Now is the time to take advantage of the imitative stage in the development of the child's psyche in order to teach the child by example, for example, to wash and brush your teeth every morning, to greet and say goodbye (while at an accessible level).

• Memory also improves. The child can now remember people who come to visit less often; remembers that this toy broke yesterday, and after lunch it's time to go for a walk; remembers and recognizes his relatives in the photo; remembers that if you take the button, you will prick.
• Also, the baby has become more attentive. He can choose the named toy out of three, understand which of the three toys is gone (mom removed). In general, the game of "hide and seek" has become one of the most beloved. The kid will look for the hidden object, realizing that he is still there, and having found the hidden mother, he will be indescribable delight.
• A leap has occurred in development logical thinking... At 11 months, the little man is already able to perform such complex mental operations as concretization and generalization. That is, he has an idea of ​​a similar set and can single out a separate object from it according to a specific criterion: for example, from all cars - a fire one, while realizing that all the others are also cars. But if you do not name a specific sign ("give a bird"), he can submit any toy or picture, which in his understanding is a bird (chicken, hen, magpie, sparrow).
• The main and most important incentive to achieve any goal for a baby of this age is parental praise. If he did something wrong or violated any prohibition, the parents should calmly and amiably explain to him why it is wrong or not, and help him do everything right. But when he succeeds - sincerely and emotionally praise him for it.

Offline speech on the road to excellence

Who would argue that a child of this age is not just an "energizer", but also an incessant chatterbox? Now he does not just babble, but knows how to explain to his mother what he wants, so that she understands him. Although it can be difficult for outsiders to understand their "dialogues". This "autonomous speech", understandable only to members of one family, is an essential step towards the development of full-fledged speaking skills.

Already now there is obvious progress on this path.

• There are several crumbs in the active vocabulary simple words: na, gimme, um, bye-bye, yeah. Perhaps the baby is already pronouncing "mom" and "dad".
• Its passive vocabulary is much broader (what the child cannot yet pronounce, but already understands). The baby understands the appeal to him, simple requests, knows the names of many objects and actions, animals, plants, toys. Passive vocabulary development - necessary condition to improve his colloquial speech, because gradually, as the speech apparatus all these words will pass into the child's speech asset.
• Onomatopoeia is actively developing. The kid reproduces many sounds: the voices of birds, animals, sound different types transport, the noise of wind, rain, etc. Without this, the development of speech skills is also impossible. You can help your child in game form, asking to depict this or that sound. After all, children love to play most of all.
• Speech gestures are a sure sign that the baby's brain is already ready to learn to speak. If, while communicating with others, he demandingly stretches the pen forward, then everything goes as it should. Now it is still difficult for him to express everything he wants, and active gesticulation somewhat compensates for speech imperfection. Therefore, even if the kid does not speak yet, but during "communication" with adults makes specific hand gestures, he is ready to learn. He only needs help.

How can you help to speak?

Child 11 months: food, menu

Your baby is 11 months old. He cannot eat with adults yet. At this age, the child requires the preparation of separate dishes. Read about nutrition for a child of this age. What kind of menu is right for a child of 11 months old?

Breastfeeding or bottle feeding:

• It is very good if you are still breastfeeding your baby from birth.
• It is optimal to divide such feeding into two doses - morning and evening.
• Night feeding is more likely not a child's nutrition, but his calming and the best option putting to bed.
• The formula is given to the child in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. You can easily familiarize yourself with them on the packaging. Pay attention to the recommendations for the nutrition of the child at 11 months.

Diet:

• At this age, babies become picky about food. They may refuse meals or skip scheduled meals.
• Don't force your child to eat. No need to force feed him. Maybe the baby needs to take a break and "take a break from eating."
• Let him choose the time and amount of food to eat.

Important: If a child does not show interest in food for a long time, is apathetic and sad - this is bad, parents should be wary. This could be a symptom of a serious medical condition.

It is best if the baby receives food five times a day. Breaks should be no more than 3 hours.

What foods need to be introduced into the diet:

• The menu of the crumbs should include dishes from vegetables and fruits, milk and cottage cheese, eggs and fish, meat dishes. Read what vegetables and fruits you can give your baby of this age.
• But this does not mean at all that you can feed your baby from a common table.
• It is forbidden to feed children of this age with fried foods, pickled foods, herring, bacon, smoked sausage and canned food.
• Do not overuse sweets.
• A small child's gastrointestinal tract cannot cope with harmful food.

During this period, lateral incisors appear in children. This allows for more solid food to be introduced. You can no longer grind vegetables on mashed potatoes.

Advice: Supplement the menu with steamed meatballs made from thoroughly ground minced meat or fish. Be sure to check the fish well for bones.

Here's a sample menu for the week:

• As mentioned above, breastfeeding should still be continued at 11 months. Naturally, complementary foods are a constant complementary food for the child. Read about how to properly cook porridge for children of this age.
• Happy child needs 5 meals a day. The child can still eat at night 1-2 times... But this is optional. It happens that children at this age already sleep all night without food.
• Your first breakfast and dinner at 11 months is always breast milk or formula.

It makes sense to grind fresh vegetables and fruits on a fine grater. By adding a small amount of sugar, you will make the dish interesting for the child. Freshly squeezed juices contain the maximum amount of vitamins. Be sure to include them in your diet, starting with 1 teaspoon and gradually increasing the volume to 100 ml. By gradually introducing new foods to the 11 month old baby's menu, you can gradually prepare him for the transition to adult food.

Everyone knows that the daily routine, especially for young children, is very important. Compliance with all the rules is good health, mood and appetite. Naturally, each baby has its own regime. Someone wakes up at 5-6 in the morning and falls asleep in the evening and sleeps all night from 8-9 in the evening, while another child will sleep until 9-10 in the morning and go to bed at 10-11 in the evening.

But the main trends are still the same for all babies:

• Daytime sleep mainly in children of this age is 2 times a day for 1.5-2 hours.
• At night, the baby may well sleep without waking up for 10-12 hours.
• The rest of the time, the child is awake, eating and walking.
• In the fresh air, you need to spend at least 2 hours a day. It is better to walk after lunch and afternoon tea.
• After an evening walk, the baby needs to be bathed, fed breast milk or a mixture and you can start getting ready for bed.

Worth knowing: Pay close attention to your naps. It is important that the baby gets enough sleep during the day, then he will sleep better at night. If the child does not sleep well during the day, it is worth finding the reason for this and eliminating it.

Correctly organizing the daily routine for a child is a big task for a mother. Children of this age can already forget to ask to eat and sleep on time, as it was at a younger age, because they can be carried away by the game. But it is important to observe the daily regimen for the correct development of the child at 11 months. Then he will sleep well, there will be strength for games and knowledge of the world around him, the baby will develop correctly and will be healthy.

Correct neuropsychic development of a baby 11 months

As mentioned above, a child at 11 months shows an interest in the meaning of individual words. The more he does this, the more important it is for mom and dad to start reading with a crumb.

Advice: Do not be alarmed if at first the child will simply play with the book, turning over the pages and looking at the pictures. When he understands all the external signs of this subject, he will be ready to study its content.

When re-reading a fairy tale, the baby will closely monitor your reaction, facial expressions. Do not be upset if you fail to finish reading. children's story to the end, baby at 11 months there is still not enough patience to sit out until the end of the reading, and that's okay.

• The baby at this age is actively interested in games, willingly gets to know and plays with other children.
• He is obedient and does what adults ask him to do: "Bring ...", "Take ...", "give…" etc.
• If you observe the child, you can see that he is trying to completely copy the behavior of adults. This is how he learns the world around him.

V 11 months like never before at another age, the child needs your love and affection. He loves to climb on his mother's lap so that she gives him her support and care. This is a sense of their own reliability, which is so necessary for the baby. Do not be afraid to spoil your little son or daughter with love and tenderness - this is impossible and will never happen at that age.

The development of fine motor skills of the hands affects the degree of speech development and mental development in general. The kid must touch a lot with his hands: various objects, sculpt, draw. But make sure that he does not pull small items into his mouth. Better to use toys in the form of cubes, balls and other similar items. Here are some game options for developing fine motor skills:

• Collect toys. Place various objects near the child. Ask him to put them in the bucket next to him. Name these items out loud with your baby.
• We go through the accounts. If you have regular abacus in your house, they will come in handy for the game. Show your child how to move the counting bones by squeezing all fingers into a fist, except for the index. Move the bones and tell the baby any rhyme.
• Bag toys. Put up to 10 toys in a rag or plastic bag. Ask your child to take items out of the bag, and you name them.
• We sort out the beans. Place some beans of different colors in a shallow bowl. Place two more containers next to the child and ask him to add a different color to each bowl. It's okay if the baby does not immediately succeed. Gradually he will learn to do this. Make sure your child does not pull beans into his mouth.

It is good for the development of fine motor skills of hands to sculpt cakes from sand. Therefore, if there is a sandbox in your yard, then be sure to let your child play in it at least once a day.

• He takes the first steps - near the support or even on his own.
• Crawls quickly, gets up and sits down.
• He willingly plays with cubes, pyramids, cars and wheelchairs.

Everything is individual and depends on the physical development, temperament and sense of balance in the child. Here are some more tips and tricks for parents to develop a baby at 11 months:

• At this age, the baby may already have 8 teeth, which means it is possible, after consulting with a pediatrician, to introduce more solid natural food into complementary foods.
• Talk to the baby more, pointing to objects.
• Gesture and use facial expressions when reading children's books. Show and tell what is written about.
• Walk a lot, especially during the warmer months. Fresh air helps in the formation of immunity.
• Do not be annoyed if your baby is not doing something. Children feel everything very subtly and can get scared and withdrawn.
• Observe the daily routine.
• In the evening, try not to play active games with your baby so that he sleeps well at night. This dream is important in development, since a capricious baby does not want to do anything.

The main thing is love and affection. Enjoy every day of motherhood, as this period is unique for you.

What a child should be able to do at 11 months

Children at this age are extremely curious and active. If you turn away for a minute, it is not known where the baby will be in a moment, so they need every minute control.

What should an 11 month old baby be able to do? Fortunately, the increased strength and endurance associated with strengthening muscles allows him to master a wide variety of skills:

• he can easily climb on his legs without assistance and stand;
• sit down from an upright position, without using a support, although so far this is given to him with difficulty;
• crawl quickly, changing direction;
• sit alone for a long time;
• the baby begins to walk with small, uncertain steps, holding on to the hand of dad or mom;
• he easily recognizes familiar objects and toys by pointing at them with his finger;
• coordination of movements increases, and the child's hand, if you need to take an object of interest, opens up in accordance with the dimensions of the thing;
• the toddler can hold a mug with both hands;
• eats with a spoon;
• washes her face and brushes her teeth.

There are also changes in the psycho-emotional plan of the child:

• he becomes more sociable;
• repeats words after parents;
• understands what adults are talking about;
• responds adequately to requests and demands: take, give, eat, throw, in response, in addition to action, can use facial expressions and gestures, shake his head;
• the child becomes not only more dexterous, but also quick-witted - he can use improvised objects to get toys from inaccessible places.

Children have hobbies, personal preferences in relation to toys, inclinations for the plot gameplay - many girls and boys can already babysit dolls, feed and put bunnies and bears to bed.

A child's awareness of himself as a personality can be quite noticeable and affect his attempts to manipulate his parents. At this moment, adults should calmly react to the whims of children, otherwise in the future the baby will constantly use hysterics or crying as a way to achieve what he wants.

It cannot be said that the mental and physical abilities of children of opposite sexes were very different, but there are certain characteristic nuances that are worth knowing about:

1. Finding out what a girl needs to be able to do at 11 months, it is necessary to understand that babies are not like boys, usually more mobile and restless. They are much calmer and can spend a long time playing cubes, drawing or sculpting with enthusiasm. An interesting process for them can captivate them for half an hour, and this is quite a lot for a child who is not even a year old.
2. Taking into account how active and independent the boy is, at 11 months he can be able to do everything related to movement, first of all, he will quickly learn to walk without the help of adults, although he will have time to fill himself a lot of bumps in a short time.

Everything that an eleven-month-old baby can do, of course, first of all, is inherent in his genetic program, but the role of parents in this process and in his success takes an important place.

How to develop a baby at 11 months

For comprehensive development child, adults need to create favorable conditions for this.

If the baby is already bending over, squatting and walking, leaning on furniture or the hand of a parent, it is worth helping him in this difficult matter:

1. We must continue to stimulate active crawling, which helps to strengthen the muscles of the arms and legs.
2. It is good if the baby, on his own, but under the supervision of his mother, will push the wheelchair or stroller. A large ball can also be used as a tolokar.
3. The child already knows how to climb one or two steps, but it is still difficult for him to go down the stairs. Such classes should be carried out a couple of times a day for several minutes.
4. While swimming, children can also learn and acquire new skills - small rubber toys, which the baby will catch with a small plastic bucket, will help with this.
5. At this age, all games with loose materials and small details - cereals, beads, pebbles are useful for a child, let the baby pour them from one container to another, fold, sort. So he will quickly learn to control his fingers.

Understanding what a child should be able to do at 11 months, do not forget about creative pursuits - he can already be given thin felt-tip pens that he can hold in his fingers. Crayons, pastel paints in the form of small pencils are also suitable. For sculpting, it is better to choose homemade or special dough, or a set of soft plasticine that does not stick to your hands.

To improve speaking, you need daily activities of joint reading. At the same time, the baby can look at the pictures, and later compose short stories from them. In addition, you need to talk a lot with children, explaining a variety of events, describing ordinary things and natural phenomena. During walks, you can get to know other children - the sooner a daughter or son learns to get to know and communicate with their peers, the easier it will be for them to adapt to the conditions of the real world.

Under the supervision of adults, children can play on their own and the best toys for them are still rubber toys, balls, big cars, into which the kid can climb, pyramids, cubes, toys in the form of animals and dolls for story games. It is better to choose books for a child with large dense pages made of rubber or cardboard, as well as with musical accompaniment. Toy musical instruments, a set of dishes or a stroller for a doll is more suitable for girls, boys can be pleased with a designer and walkers, which will help them learn to walk faster.

Development success test

Knowing the standards that determine what a baby should be able to do at this stage of life, parents should understand that such an assessment is relative, and yet, in some cases, verification is necessary.

First of all, you should pay attention to the following points:

• by the age of eleven months, the baby should already fully master crawling, confidently sit, stand;
• the child must make attempts to get up and take at least a couple of steps;
• ideally, children are comfortable using cups, spoons, towels and hairbrushes on their own;
• from three cubes the toddler should already be able to build a turret;
• a normally developed baby will definitely notice if you hide his toy and try to find it.

You can also pay attention to how the butuz behaves in different circumstances. If he is angry, then he does not cry, as before, but expresses his displeasure - he can beat his mother and even bite. Rejoicing, the children laugh and clap their hands.

Some negative actions of the baby should be suppressed already at this age - for this he needs to explain in an accessible way what is good and bad, what can and cannot be done - this will facilitate further education.

Being engaged in the development of children for 11 months, it is already worth deciding the issue of expanding the space for them in the house and making sure that they do not injure themselves while learning to walk and active games... All dangerous, sharp and breakable objects should be removed from the room, access to sockets and wires should be limited, the corners should be upholstered with a soft cloth.

At this age, the child will fall often, and this will have to be reconciled, Mom should not immediately run to the baby, so he will learn to rise on his own, moreover, it will be better to orientate himself in the environment and correctly coordinate his actions.

Baby regimen at 11 months

Complementary foods, as such, have ended, and the child has already become a full member of the family, taking his place at the common table. Of course, the rules for preparing dishes for him are preserved. For children, food is prepared by boiling, stewing, lean meat in the form of meatballs, meatballs and cutlets is steamed. The food is still crushed, and the main number of feedings remains the same - 5 times a day. Apart from liquids - water, juices, the child eats up to 1, 2 kilograms, so one serving is about 200-250 grams, depending on the build and appetite of the baby. This power supply system will continue to be used, up to about two years.

In fact, the toddler got acquainted with all the products, but citrus fruits, mushrooms, nuts, coffee and tea, and chocolate are also prohibited. Tomatoes, oranges, some other vegetables and fruits, including honey, can cause allergies, therefore they are not desirable.

Those mothers who plan to wean from breast, gradually reduce the amount of milk, and then the number of feedings, limiting only once before bedtime. Mother's milk is no longer enough necessary for the child substances, and he will receive nutrients from regular food.

Even continuing breastfeeding it is noted that at the age of 11 months, children sleep much more calmly at night and no longer cause so much trouble, with the exception of cases of toothache and illness, from which at this moment they need to be protected especially carefully - low immunity is, the most vulnerable place in this period ...

Children sleep from 10 to 11 hours at night, and 3-4 hours more during the day. Age is characterized by the transition of each child's body on their own natural biorhythms. Therefore, some children may go to bed and get up later or earlier.

Childcare includes:

• morning washing, combing, brushing teeth (children can already carry out some procedures on their own);
• washing after the toilet - the child's groin is washed with warm water, occasionally using soap or other means;
• bathing takes place at a time convenient for children and parents, but mainly in the evening;
• rubdowns, air baths, massage to improve blood circulation and digestion are used as hardening procedures;
• gymnastic exercises to strengthen the muscles and the spine should be carried out regularly, as they help to restore the body of the little one after active pursuits while awake.
