What are the developmental standards for twelve-month-old babies?

The baby is the biggest concern of the family, and the baby's health is a concern for parents and elders. The developmental standards for a twelve-month-old baby should be relatively based on the baby's own situation. A normal baby's weight, body and IQ are roughly the same; however, if it is a special baby, such as multiple fetuses, premature babies, defective babies, etc., then their physical standards will also be lowered accordingly. Below we introduce the various developmental standards for twelve-month-old babies for your reference.

Weight: Boys weigh about 10.14 kg and girls weigh about 9.58 kg. Height: about 77.14 cm for boys and about 75.69 cm for girls. Head circumference: about 46.47 cm for baby boys and about 45.45 cm for baby girls. Chest circumference: approximately 46.54 cm for boys and approximately 45.61 cm for girls. Sitting height: about 48.46 cm for baby boys and about 47.41 cm for baby girls. Teeth: 6-8 teeth have grown.

Overview of the intellectual development of 12-month-old babies:

1. Body movement and control: When a baby sees a favorite toy on the ground while walking, he will squat down to play with it for a while, then stand up and continue walking.

2. Exploration and operation: The baby can put the cap on the empty beverage bottle

3. Language: When seeing dad and mom, the baby can actively call "Dad" and "Mom"

4. Social adaptation: Does the baby start to imitate adults and learn to do housework? For example: wiping the table, sweeping the floor?

Kind tips

1. Seek medical attention promptly if motor skills lag behind: If your baby still cannot stand independently this month, please take him to see a doctor. Most babies can stand steadily without support, but some babies cannot walk alone. Although they can take a few steps forward, they will soon fall down without the support of their parents.

2. Benefits of walking barefoot: Walking barefoot can promote the development of baby's feet, ankles, and leg muscles, so parents should create more conditions for their babies to walk barefoot, but be careful not to let the baby catch a cold.

3. Don’t be “modest” on behalf of your baby: If someone praises your baby, you may subconsciously be modest and point out some of your baby’s shortcomings. This may sow the seeds of self-denial in your baby’s little heart.

4. Don’t miss the critical period of adding solid food: If you don’t give your baby solid food, he or she will have difficulty eating in the future.

5. Baby's "bow legs": Most babies' calves are slightly bent due to the strong adductor muscles. This is a normal physiological curvature. When the baby reaches three or four years old, the tibia and fibula lengthen and the calves will not be so bent. There is no need to worry.

6. Be careful of mastitis: If your breasts are swollen and painful during weaning, you should use a breast pump to express milk regularly. If the breast pump does not work well, let your baby suck without hesitation, because milk congestion is one of the causes of mastitis.

Twelve-month-old babies are already able to express their own subjective thinking, so adults don’t need to worry too much. You can communicate more with your child at home and observe your child's situation in all aspects. If your child is below the developmental standard for a twelve-month-old baby, you should participate in more parent-child activities, let your child actively participate, and help your child develop healthily. In terms of nutrition, do not let your baby eat too much, so as not to cause excessive nutrition and premature obesity, which will also affect the normal development of the child!
