Overview

Week 47 brings fresh changes as your baby grows. About 10โ€“11 months is a season of tiny wins โ€” a new sound, a longer stretch of sleep, or a smile that melts the exhaustion.

Baby Development

This week, typical development may include: Climbing stairs with help, feeding self with spoon (messily). Every baby follows their own timeline โ€” comparison is the thief of joy.

Milestones

Climbing stairs with help, feeding self with spoon (messily).

Sleep

Sleep patterns vary widely. Consistent bedtime routines help even when schedules shift.

Feeding

Toddler appetites wobble day to day. Regular meal and snack times with no pressure work best.

Health & Wellness

Regular well-baby checks, safe sleep practices, and childproofing stay important as mobility grows.

Partner & Family Support

Share night feeds, nappy changes, or a short walk so the primary caregiver can rest.

When to Call the Doctor

Call your paediatrician for fever in a young baby, fewer wet nappies, breathing difficulty, persistent vomiting, or if something feels wrong to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sleep varies enormously in the first year. Short cycles, cluster feeding nights, and growth spurts all shake things up. Track overall mood, feeding, and wet nappies โ€” and ask your doctor if you are worried.

ParentVibes Tip
