Milestones
At 1 year 3 months, your baby is starting to become more independent. They will likely be crawling and walking around more, exploring their environment. They may also be able to say a few words, such as “mama” or “dada.” Your baby’s fine motor skills are also improving, and they may be able to pick up small objects with their fingers.
Sleep
By this age, your baby should be sleeping through the night for around 10-12 hours. However, they may still need one or two naps during the day, each lasting around 1-2 hours.
Feeding
Your baby should be eating a variety of solid foods by now, including fruits, vegetables, and protein. They may also be able to use a sippy cup or straw cup to drink water or milk. It’s important to make sure they are getting enough nutrients and drinking plenty of fluids.
Behavior
At this age, your baby may be more interested in playing with other children and may show signs of separation anxiety when you leave. They may also have tantrums or become frustrated easily when they can’t do something.
Developmental concerns
If your baby is not meeting some of these milestones, it’s important to talk to your pediatrician. They may recommend early intervention services to help your child catch up.
