What should a child be able to do in 1 year?

Many parents ask themselves the question, what should a child be able to do in one year? These important questions concern both the weight, and growth, and emotions of the child, which is growing very fast. At the age of 1 year the baby becomes more independent and even defends his own opinion. That's what a child should be able to do in 1 year.

Baby's weight in 1 year

In 1 year the weight of a child increases by an average of 3 times. The weight of the child in 12 months reaches about 10 - 10.5 kg. At this age the child can be weighed once a month and recorded these figures. Since the year, the child is growing and recovering is not as fast as before. If up to six months and even up to eight months the baby typed up to 500 grams per month, then from the year the child will recover no more than 250-300 grams.

Until a year old, the baby will grow up to 75 cm. If the growth of the child is more or less - parents should not be upset, these indicators for each child are individual.

Child's skills in 1 year

At this age the baby tries hard to walk. Boys often start walking later than girls. In those, development is more intense. Some girls aged 1 year even try to run. They fall a lot, so the child can be secured by placing special soft pads on the sharp corners of the furniture.

Do not be scared and scream when the child falls, because he, too, is afraid and will be afraid to walk. Then the process of the first steps can be delayed for a long time. Also, do not resort to extremes and force your child to walk more often, so that he more and more practiced in this skill. Nothing good will come of it - the child is overwrought and does not want to walk at all. In addition, the ligaments, joints and bones of the baby at this age are very fragile, so do not overwork them.

It is not unreasonable for parents to know that children who were premature, who had birth trauma or pelvic bone problems (this happens, especially in girls), can go later than their peers. In this there is nothing wrong - the child will still learn to walk, and worry about it is not worth it.

Habits of a child in 1 year old

In 1 year, some children are already accustomed to a pot. And some kids are still accustomed to him. If the child still does not go to the pot on his own, then you have missed something in your upbringing and you need to make up for it. Parents need a maximum of patience to raise healthy children's habits in 1 year. To develop a schedule for visiting the pot, you need to follow the regime of these visits.

Diapers and diapers for a child in a year should be kept to a minimum. The child will be much more comfortable to move without them. In addition, he does not want to soak beautiful new panties or a dress and will sit down on the pot without any reminders.

If the child continues to write, you can not shout at him, because this will frighten him even more and break the fragile nervous system of the child. And, on the contrary, with every successful act, when the child was asked in time for a pot, praise him, kiss him and encourage him with a small gift. The kid will be very proud of himself and will try to justify your trust.

Teeth of a child in one year

By the year, the child has quite a lot of teeth - as many as 12. Of these, 4 chewable and 8 incisors. If the child has more or less teeth to this age, then again, parents should not worry. Within a month or two, the missing teeth will necessarily appear. If parents need advice from a pediatrician or a pediatric dentist, take the time and get it.

The doctor can advise which foods should be better included in the baby's diet, so that his teeth are cut faster and more painlessly so that they are strong. During this period in the diet of the child should be enough vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus.

A child of 1 year old is already quite grown up - especially by the standards of parents who remember well the time when this little lump was brought from the hospital. For your baby, your sensitivity and understanding is now most important.
