11 months to the child - development, weight and height

During the first year of life, a newborn baby develops at an unusually fast pace, and its biometric indicators increase several fold. This is especially noticeable on the eve of the first birthday of the baby, when the child acquires a huge number of new skills and successfully improves previously mastered skills.

In this article, we will tell you what knowledge a child should have in 11 months, and what should be its weight and growth for full development.

Weight and height of the baby in 11 months

Of course, the biometric indicators of each child are individual and depend on many factors. Nevertheless, there are certain norms that are typical for eleven-month-old babies. According to the World Health Organization, the body weight of boys at this age should be from 7.6 to 11.7 kg, and their growth accordingly varies from 69.9 to 79.2 cm.

Girls at this age have a weight of not less than 6.9 and not more than 11.2 kg, and their growth ranges from 67.7 to 77.8 cm. Of course, the height and weight of a child in 11 months are inextricably linked with the way he eats , as well as with the general condition of his body. However, it should be borne in mind that preterm infants are lagging behind their peers for a certain time in biometric indicators. In addition, the physique of the child's parents also matters.

The following table will help you study the possible variations in the weight and height of the child at 11 months and understand how different the biometric indicators of your son or daughter are:

Physical and mental development of the child in 11 months

The full development of the baby at the age of 11 months suggests that the crumb already knows how to perform certain actions independently, namely:

• gorgeously creeps on all fours and can stand up and sit down from this position;
• stands on two legs, without holding on to the support. Walking, holding on to the handrail or the hands of an adult. Some eleven-month-old babies, especially girls, are already walking alone;
• crawling up the stairs. Most children are not able to go down yet;
• can creep through many obstacles;
• takes small objects by the method of tweezers;
• says quite a lot of combinations "in their own language" - "av-av", "bi-bi" and so on. He pronounces several conscious words, such as "Mom", "Dad", "Baba" and "Dai";
• understands well the speech addressed to him, adequately responds to the words "no" and "not";
• uses gestures, waves his hand for greeting or farewell, shakes his head in denial;
• builds a turret of several cubes.

Do not be scared if your baby is a little behind, and its development is different from the generally accepted norms. Each child is individual, and in most cases, a minor lag is not a consequence of the baby's serious health problems. For a full-fledged development of the child in 11 months it is useful to play with him in the story-role games - to simulate the feeding of dolls and putting them to sleep, to demonstrate how "talking" animals, and also to use water and various loose objects as objects for games.
