Development calendar 11 months. Child development in the eleventh month of life

Baby? At 11 months, the child can already stand, pronounce with understanding a word with two syllables, and his sleep rhythm begins to change.

Physical development of a child at 11 months

The eleven-month-old child is increasingly trying to stand on straight legs. It's obvious that upright he feels better and better. Sometimes he even manages to stand for some time without the help of his hands. The baby really wants to take the first independent step, but, most likely, you will have to wait a few more weeks. According to statistics, this moment usually occurs at the age of thirteen to fourteen months.

To pick up a toy on the floor, baby can bend or crouch holding on to a piece of furniture. Unfortunately, it is not so easy for him to return to a standing position, most children still do not know how to do this. They get on all fours and, holding on to a table leg or other support, try to get up.

The baby already has quite agile hands. The child can grab the button with his thumb and forefinger - this is the so-called pincer grip. You may also notice that the baby is holding objects by the handle or the tip. The child easily manages to open lockers that are locked with a magnet, he pulls out drawers without any problems, opens cardboard boxes, pouring their contents onto the floor. Therefore, make sure that the house is safe for the baby.

The child's vision is sharpened, and he is able to focus his vision, track moving objects and analyze the image.

By the end of the first year of life sleep patterns changed. While newborns sleep an average of 16 hours a night, an 11-month-old baby only needs 13 hours. Most children this age get at least six hours of uninterrupted sleep at night, as well as some time during the day - in one or two calls.

• If you haven't already, stop giving your baby a bottle. Too long use of it can cause malocclusion.
• If the baby is "lazy" and moves little, offer him to roll over from his back to his stomach, sit down, put him on the floor as often as possible, placing toys on both sides so that they serve as an incentive for him to roll over.

Height and weight at 11 months

The eleven-month-old baby grew by 1.5 cm and gained about 400 g in weight. 11 month old boys now weigh 9.5-9.7 kg, and girls 8.9 - 9.2 kg. Height 72-73 cm.

Emotional development of a child at 11 months

A child at 11 months still has a growing awareness of himself as an independent, separate person. He wants to decide for himself what to do. This gives him a sense of power and control over himself and his life, and is also the basis for future decision-making skills (an eleven-month-old baby can already say no!). As the child grows awareness of one's own independent "I", he begins to participate in simple procedures - such as changing clothes or washing, begins to make the first attempts of independent travel, although he still feels insecure a few steps away from you. On the one hand, he wants security, on the other, freedom. You may notice how he moves away from you, only to return after a while.

The kid loves laughter and jokes, he can initiate them.

Laughter has a huge influence on the formation of his character and personality.

Remember that the mother is still the most important and dear person for the child. No toy can compare with you. It is you who awaken all the senses of the child, teach him, play, study with him. You are the starting point in any incomprehensible situation, in determining your own feelings. Watching your facial expressions helps your baby judge whether an activity is safe or not.

• Develop a sense of humor in your child. Try to make him laugh as often as possible, make grimaces, change your voice, offer to try on funny hats.
• Teach your child courtesy by saying "thank you", "excuse me", "please", etc. to everyone.
• Allow your child to make choices so that he understands that you take into account his desires and opinions.
• Remember that you have unlimited opportunities to communicate with your baby. In many cases, you can do without toys. Every time you play with an infant, he develops socially, mentally, physically and intellectually.

Engage with the child, developing his senses.

Intellectual development of a child at 11 months

An eleven-month-old child already knows how to insert and remove small objects from large ones. Although it seems childishly simple to adults, acquiring this skill is a milestone in a child's development. And not the only one. The next is speech training. Child consciously pronounces the first two-syllable words and imitate sounds. He understands more and more words and probably already knows the words "mom", "dad", "woman", "sleep" and "not" well.

The kid becomes determined and strong-willed. He knows exactly what he wants and knows how to express it. When the baby wants you to give him a toy, he pulls the handles in the direction of the object of desire. When he doesn't want to eat, he shakes his head vigorously. He can resist dressing and changing diapers and sometimes even directly says: "No!". When he hears "no" from you, the reaction may be different. The kid can retreat, stop what he is doing, or vice versa - continue the action, despite the prohibition. Thus he tests how far he can go. Doing something "forbidden" is watching how you react. This is proof that he understands the rules you set.

The kid already knows his name, he is learning to remember the names of the household. Try to use names and pronouns - this helps him in identifying people close to him and ordering his world.

The kid shows more interest in books. He focuses on pictures illustrating the text you are reading. Able to distinguish objects by temperature, shape, weight and consistency. A baby can recognize a dog, a cat, a bird, a house, a car in the picture (best of all, of course, he determines what he comes into contact with every day). The kid knows the names of body parts and can already answer questions on this topic. He is able to point to his nose, mouth, ears, navel, legs and head.

What should a child be able to do at 11 months? If you focus on developmental norms, you can find that the baby does something very well, but something does not work out for him. It is important to take into account the individual characteristics of the baby. After all, the development of psychomotor skills depends on many factors: weight, muscular apparatus, temperament, climate, heredity, health, atmosphere in the family.

If some skills are not observed, do not worry ahead of time. Of course, at this age, the baby should confidently sit and crawl. If he does not attempt to rise vertically, this is even better, according to some orthopedists. The later the child masters the vertical position, the more natural the curves of the spine will form. Crawling skills can develop over several months. In some babies, it is so improved that their agility can only be envied.

Assessment of psychomotor development according to the "Munich diagnostics"

In 1997, educators, psychologists and doctors at the Institute for Social Pedagogy in Munich created functional diagnostics, which can be used to assess the psychomotor development of children under 3 years old. What can a child at 11 months according to this diagnosis?

• From a sitting position, he pulls himself up with a support and stands up.
• Can take several steps along the support.
• Takes steps with the support of both hands.
• Climbs one step with support.
• Hits small objects against each other.
• Can pick up and hold a toy (food) with outstretched thumb and forefinger.
• It can also make these movements with bent fingers.
• Knows how to leaf through cardboard books.
• Rolls a car, a toy on wheels.
• Throws items into a box.
• Rolls the ball.
• Finds hidden objects.
• Points at an object with an outstretched index finger.
• Folds the smallest detail of a pyramid or matryoshka into the largest one.
• Picks up a pencil and tries to draw.
• Expresses desires and requirements with the help of sounds, syllables.
• Indicates where mom and dad are.
• Can say a few meaningful words.
• There is a noticeable reaction to prohibitions, censures and praise.
• The kid understands the meaning of the words and fulfills the requests: “bring”, “give me”, “come to me”.
• If he is asked about a familiar object or person, he begins to look for him in space.
• He claps his hands well, nods, shows “bye” with his hand.
• Shows concern for a doll, a soft toy: he can stroke, regret, put him to bed.

More about motor skills

At 11 months, the baby skillfully wields a spoon, holds a cup well, can draw his first drawing in the form of a stroke - all these movements require accuracy and dexterity, developed eye-hand coordination. What else can a baby do?

• Crawl. A month ago, the baby could crawl in a plastunsky manner. But at 11 months, the baby should be able to freely and quickly crawl on all fours. Movement must be coordinated and synchronized. The child rearranges the limbs in this way: the left hand - the right leg, the right hand - the left leg, etc.
• Equilibrium. Thanks to constant crawling, the baby develops coordination and balance well. To test this skill, you can conduct such an experiment. Sit the child on a flat surface and raise first one leg, then both. The kid will not tip back, he tries to balance and maintain balance, stretches his body forward, stretches his arms. Sometimes he can help himself by leaning on one arm.
• Takes the first steps, holding the hands of an adult. If you put the baby on a flat and hard surface, take him by the handles, slightly lifting them up, he will spontaneously take steps. Not all children of this age can do this exercise. The first steps are uncertain, too wide, while the legs are strongly straightened.
• Gets up from a sitting position. This skill is developed with support. The baby is not yet able to rise independently. How to stimulate the development of this skill? You can put a toy on the edge of the sofa and ask the baby to take it. The baby, which is on the floor, will try to get up, leaning on the sofa, and get a toy. These exercises can be repeated daily. When the baby gets up, he first brings one leg forward, leans and pulls up. It is necessary to ensure that the child, when lifting, can equally skillfully carry both the right and left legs forward.
• Development of grasping skills. A child can grab a large object with the whole palm. But if the baby is offered a small toy, a piece of biscuit, he will take it with only two fingers - thumb and forefinger. This skill is called a pincer grip. It should be equally well developed on both hands. If the baby prefers only the right or left hand, you need to stimulate him to develop the skill symmetrically.

Is there a difference in the motor development of a girl and a boy at 11 months? The Munich Functional Diagnostics of Development, as well as other reliable and objective sources, does not contain data on gender differences in the formation of skills. Experts believe that it is not necessary to focus on this topic. The rate of development can be influenced by body type, development of the muscular apparatus, temperament, heredity, as well as birth trauma and neurological disorders.

Speech and psycho-emotional development

The motor skills of a child at 11 months are associated with the development of speech, intelligence, and emotions. It is impossible to single out the main and secondary skills of the baby, they must be considered as a whole.

• The repetition of syllables. At this age, the baby can repeat the syllables that adults reproduce. To do this, you need to sit next to the baby, slowly and with clear articulation, pronounce different types of syllables. An eleven-month-old baby is able to copy well not only syllables, but also intonations.
• Speech is accompanied by gestures. The baby can answer questions with head movements: “yes” or “no”. You can see: when the baby asks for something and says “give-give”, then at the same time stretches out the pen and squeezes it repeatedly. Speech therapists believe that such a gesture indicates the readiness of the baby to speak. It is important at this age to develop fine motor skills, which are associated with the development of speech. Flexible fingers and a lot of subtle movements with the hands will push the baby to rapid speech development.
• First words. Specific words of the children's lexicon appear: “bi-bi”, “brr” (car), “la-la” (doll, child), “pa-pa” (so far and dad). The words are used in a broad sense. For example, "ba-ba" can refer to any grandmother, not just her own; “av-av” can mean a dog, a cat, any animal. The kid can call words not only objects, but also actions, even individual situations. Not immediately, a mother can understand the vocabulary of a baby. Speech therapists recommend translating specific children's words into "adult" language and pronouncing them correctly. It is not necessary to correct the baby, he should hear an alternative option and eventually switch to it.
• The development of memory and thinking. At 11 months, children are able to reproduce images of objects in memory. If you ask the baby to find a ball or a doll, he will look for an object in a visual image that is already embedded in the memory. The kid still thinks in cognitive schemes, that is, he remembers some kind of chain of events and signs of objects. But if something new appears, the child may be confused, because it does not fit into his previous thought scheme. Cognition of the world occurs due to the constant expansion and change of these schemes. At this age, children begin to group objects and objects according to signs: food, toys, people, animals, etc.
• response to bans. The baby understands when he is forbidden to do something. First of all, he checks the reaction of the mother, because the basic sense of security is associated precisely with her and her emotional reactions. If, say, on a walk he found a pebble and wants to taste it, then the first thing he will look at is his mother's face. Often at this age, children are obedient and respond to taboos. But not far off is the age when the child will begin to test the patience of his parents and show his famous “I myself!”.
• Reaction to incentives. At 11 months, the baby is able to perceive and be aware of praise. Psychologists recommend encouraging the baby, praising if he succeeded, cheering if something does not work out. Praise and a positive attitude to the activities of the baby already at this age affects the formation of adequate self-esteem in the future.
• The baby fulfills requests. The kid well understands the meaning of the requests and wishes of adults. He willingly brings toys, shares cookies, "helps" around the house. Primitive role-playing games begin to help the baby socially adapt, develop communication skills.
• Communication. Gradually, a period passes when the child was afraid of strangers and could cry if he was picked up and taken away from his mother. Now the baby trusts the world more and is more willing to communicate with new people. Also, the crumbs may have their first friends in the sandbox. Together, children do not yet know how to play, but the first quarrels over toys may already arise. At this age, kids agree to exchange toys with other children, in this way conflict situations are easily resolved.

Children of this age capture the mood of adults well by their eyes, facial expressions, intonations of voice. Their emotional sphere also expands. Psychologists do not recommend suppressing the negative emotions of the baby.

A few weeks before the start of the second year of life, the baby pleases parents with many interesting abilities. He is already almost independent, familiar with "adult" food and even acquired his own preferences. Caring mothers and fathers can help the baby improve existing and learn new skills.

What can a baby do at 11 months?

At the indicated age, the baby is excellent, quickly moving to the place he needs. The development of a child at 11 months of age also involves attempts to walk, but they are still timid and clumsy. The baby makes the first steps, holding a hand or a support, or using special toys. It is still difficult for the baby to keep balance and balance, so he often falls.

What should a healthy baby be able to do at 11 months:

• sit down and get up;
• generalize and specify objects (for example, choose only cars from toys and find a red one among them);
• imitate sounds and speech;
• play story games (cradle, feed the doll);
• fulfill requests - come here, take it, give it;
• gesticulate;
• pronounce short words (“mother”, “bye”);
• climb the hill and be able to go down;
• hold a spoon, should grab porridge or mashed potatoes with it;
• build towers from cubes;
• flip through book pages
• distinguish body parts, show them;
• communicate with other children and familiar adults.

What can you teach a child at 11 months?

The main task of parents is to support the baby and help him improve his skills, choosing a comfortable form of education. Developing activities for children 11 months old involve improving existing skills. It is not necessary to force the crumbs to do something if he is not ready for this. Theoretically, there are many options for teaching a child at 11 months old, but it is important to deal with a baby only if he is interested:

• walk;
• dance;
• speak clearly;
• increase vocabulary;
• sing along.

11 month old baby - how to teach to walk?

Most babies of this age are trying to take independent steps. The list of what a child can do at 11 months includes the use of walkers or special toys (“wheelchairs”) that serve as support in this lesson. If parents seek to teach their child to keep balance without outside help, you need to train daily:

1. Do gymnastics and massage, strengthening the muscle corset.
2. Walk (the parent should hold the baby by the hand).
3. At home, sit at a distance of 1-1.5 meters from the baby and call to yourself, holding out your hands.

Walking on your own is not a mandatory item among everything that a child should be able to do at 11 months. If it is more convenient for the baby to crawl, but it is still difficult to walk, you cannot force him. The baby will go when he is physically and psychologically ready for this. Crawling is also a very important stage in development, which is responsible for the formation of normal posture and spatial thinking.

How to teach an 11 month old baby to speak?

4 weeks before the first birthday, the baby can communicate, but in a primitive language. His vocabulary consists of the simplest short words - "give", "am", "bye", "yes" and others. Often the conversation of the crumbs is understandable only to close family members (autonomous speech). The development of fine motor skills in children of 11 months should improve this skill. Scientifically confirmed: the brain centers of the child, responsible for the motor functions of the fingers and speech, are inextricably linked. If you constantly offer the baby finger games and activities to improve fine motor skills, the child will speak faster and more legibly.

Other ways to increase speech activity:

• conversations with the baby;
• singing;
• reading fairy tales;
• listening to music.

How to teach an 11 month old baby to chew?

Closer to a year, children are already well equipped with grown teeth and gums, especially when complementary foods were started in a timely manner. If there is no chewing in the list of what a child can do at 11 months of age, the development of this skill should be stimulated:

1. Offer thicker food.
2. Add small hard pieces to soups and purees.
3. Sometimes give an apple or a bagel to gnaw.
4. Serve with soft marmalade and marshmallows.
5. Sit down to eat together, showing the baby the right movements by example.

Chewing is not a mandatory item on the list of what a child should be able to do at 11 months, but this ability will not be superfluous. After a year, he will begin to gradually switch to "adult" solid food and wean from his mother's breast. Proper chewing will help not only not to choke on food, but also contributes to the proper formation of incisors, molars and jaws.

How to develop a child at 11 months?

The described age is characterized by the accelerated acquisition of new skills and knowledge about the world around. There are many methods for developing a child for 11 months at home, but progressive pediatricians recommend not adhering to strict norms, but simply observing the interests of the baby and supporting his aspirations and undertakings. An almost one-year-old person is distinguished by curiosity and ingenuity, so it is very easy to help him in development.

What toys does a baby need at 11 months?

The most useful items for teaching children in this period are tools that help improve fine motor skills. Educational toys for children 11 months:

• sorters;
• cubes;
• pyramids;
• cups;
• mosaics;
• balls and balls;
• "cut" vegetables and fruits (with Velcro);
• nesting dolls;
• plasticine.

Additionally, it is necessary to have plot toys for children of 11 months, with the help of which the baby must try on some kind of role:

• set of tools;
• doctor's kit;
• plastic kitchen utensils;
• doll with stroller and more.

Games with an 11 month old baby

Children receive all knowledge about the properties of surrounding objects and the behavior of living beings during entertainment. Teachers recommend such educational games for children of 11 months:

• show where (nose, tail);
• as he says (dog, cat, cow);
• give (to ask for a specific object of a certain shape or color);
• feed, comb the doll;
• put the toys in the box;
• roll the ball (learn to push in the right direction);
• what is outside the window (show a cloud, the sun, an airplane);
• hide and seek.

On the eve of their first, official birthday, the children have already grown noticeably and learned a lot. Every day their life becomes more and more eventful, and the time of wakefulness increases. Children spend a lot of time in active exploration, and they have already almost descended from their mother's hands. Parents will certainly be interested in comparing the acquired skills of their babies with the average indicators indicating what a child should be able to do at 11 months.

At eleven months, the baby gains 400 grams in weight and stretches 1-1.5 centimeters in height. If the child did not gain weight at all, or the increase occurred only by 150-200 grams, this is not a reason to panic with the general, good health of the son or daughter. After all, their motor activity has greatly increased, and the body quickly spends its energy reserves and nutrients. It may be worth offering your child food that contains more calories.

In terms of anatomy and physiology, at this moment there is an intensive formation of the muscular system, so the baby can already be in an upright position for more or less time and even move using a support, and sometimes independently.

Another important change is the appearance of milk teeth, as a rule, these are four teeth - two each in the lower and upper jaws, some children already have second incisors.

Already up to a year, a baby can take his first steps and utter his first words, but there is no need to despair if this does not happen - the development of a child at 11 months goes according to his own schedule, in accordance with his individual genetic program. True, parents have a good opportunity to help him in this by monitoring the nutrition and normal sleep of the little one, as well as regularly developing it with the help of games and training sessions.

What should a child be able to do at 11 months

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

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

• he can easily rise to his feet without assistance and stand;
• sit down from an upright position without using a support, although so far it is difficult for him;
• crawl quickly, changing direction;
• sit on your own for a long time;
• the baby begins to walk in small, uncertain steps, holding onto the hand of dad or mom;
• he easily recognizes familiar objects and toys, 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 in accordance with the dimensions of the thing;
• the little one can hold a mug with both hands;
• eats with a spoon;
• washes his face and brushes his teeth.

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

• he becomes more sociable;
• repeats words after parents;
• understands what adults are talking about;
• adequately responds to requests and demands: take, give, eat, quit, in response, in addition to actions, 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 for toys, the makings of a story-based gameplay - many girls and boys can already babysit dolls, feed and put bunnies and bears to bed.

Awareness of oneself as a person in a child can be quite noticeable and affect attempts to manipulate parents. At this point, adults should calmly respond to the whims of children, otherwise in the future the baby will constantly use tantrums or crying as a way to achieve what they want.

It cannot be said that the mental and physical abilities of children of opposite sexes are very different, but there are some characteristic nuances that you should know about:

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

Everything that an eleven-month-old baby can do is, of course, primarily incorporated in his genetic program, but the role of parents in this process and its success occupies an important place.

How to develop a baby at 11 months

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

If the baby is already bending over, crouching and walking, leaning on the furniture or the parent's hand, it is worth helping him in this difficult task:

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 exercises should be done a couple of times a day for a few minutes.
4. While bathing, children can also learn and gain new skills - small rubber toys that the baby will catch with a small plastic bucket will help with this.
5. At this age, all games with bulk materials and small details - cereals, beads, pebbles are useful for the child, let the baby pour them from one container to another, fold, sort. So he quickly learns to control his fingers.

When figuring out what a child should be able to do at 11 months, do not forget about creative activities - 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 modeling, it is better to choose homemade or special dough, or a set of soft plasticine that does not stick to your hands.

To improve spoken language, daily classes are needed, consisting in reading together. At the same time, the baby can look at the pictures, and later make short stories based on 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, large cars that the baby can climb into, pyramids, cubes, animal toys 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 are more suitable for girls, boys can be pleased with a designer and walkers that will help you quickly master walking.

Verification test for the success of development

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, sit and stand confidently;
• the child must make attempts to get up and take at least a couple of steps;
• ideally, children normally perceive the independent use of a cup, spoon, towel and comb;
• from three cubes, the little one 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, he does not cry, as before, but expresses his displeasure - he can beat his mother and even bite. Rejoicing, the children laugh, clap their hands.

Some of the negative actions of the baby should be stopped 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 of 11 months, it is already worth considering 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, corners should be upholstered with a soft cloth.

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

Baby routine at 11 months

Complementary foods, as such, are over, and the child has already become a full member of the family, taking his place at the common table. Of course, the rules of cooking for him are preserved. Food is prepared for children by boiling, stewing, lean meat in the form of meatballs, meatballs and cutlets are steamed. The food is still crushed, and the main number of feedings remains the same - 5 times a day. Not counting liquids - water, juices, the child eats up to 1.2 kilograms, so one serving is about 200-250 grams, depending on the size and appetite of the baby. Such a power system will continue to be used for up to about two years.

In fact, the little one got acquainted with all the products, but the forbidden ones also include citrus fruits, mushrooms, nuts, coffee and tea, and chocolate. Tomatoes, oranges, some other vegetables and fruits, including honey, can cause allergies, so they are not desirable.

Those mothers who plan to wean from the breast gradually reduce the amount of milk, and then the number of feedings, limiting themselves to only one time before bedtime. In mother's milk, the substances necessary for the child are no longer enough, and he will receive nutrients from ordinary food.

Even with continued breastfeeding, it is noted that at the age of 11 months, children sleep much calmer 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, most vulnerable spot during this period.

At night, children sleep from 10 to 11 hours, and during the day for another 3-4 hours. Age is characterized by the transition of each child's organism to its own natural biorhythms. Therefore, some children may go to bed and get up later or earlier.

Child care includes:

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

Child development at 11 months: video

Understanding what a child should be able to do at 11 months, parents can only help the baby get comfortable and learn many skills, but not rush things. You should not adjust his behavior to some general, and very conditional framework, because a small person is already a person whose opinion must be respected.
