Usually, by the first year of a child's life, his weight increases three-fold (of course, this is strictly individual and this figure is average), and he weighs, probably, more than ten kilograms. Weigh your karapuza at this age is enough once a month. I'm sure that caring parents still record the weight of the baby in the table. So, in the period from one year to the next, the baby has to gain about 250 grams per month in weight.
So, what should a child be able to do in 1 year? Most likely, by this time he will become so strong that he will please you with the first independent steps. Some children are already quite good at walking, while others are already running around. At first you, of course, lead the baby by the hand, but then, when the baby has already adapted, you let go of it and - it takes its first steps alone, sometimes it is accompanied by joy and fear in his eyes. But the child is very trying, because he wants to be like his parents.
When your child is practicing walking and trying to hone his skills, he should not interfere with anything and, of course, these lessons should not be accompanied by injuries. Otherwise, the child will start to fear and stop trying to walk, he will start to crawl again. And no wonder - because in this situation, he feels much more confident. Make sure that on the floor, where he will stomp his legs, there was nothing outside, no toys, and the carpet would be best removed from sin. After all, young parents should not forget that a small crease on the carpet can serve as a serious obstacle to the still uncertain and unshakable step of your little girl.
Do not try to deceive nature, do not think that your child lags behind in development if he does not yet know how to run, and the neighbor's child has been driving pigeons for two months along the streets. Simply humble yourself and wait - everything will go its course, only time is needed, and the baby will catch up.
So, he went 12 months. The kid already seems to be walking, but you are tormented by various doubts: they say, and the gait is like a duck, and legs are set wide. From these thoughts and sleep there. Sometimes it happens that at a time when the baby starts walking, some old and seemingly forgotten his illnesses, for example, rickets, or a dislocation of the hip joint, which the child received through carelessness of doctors or parents, appear. In such cases, you should immediately contact a doctor. It should also take into account that premature babies, and too painful babies can go a little later.
The first year of life is already the time when your child should ask for a pot, but if this does not happen, then most likely, only you are to blame. Make appropriate conclusions and accustom your child to the "night vase". You must be persistent and be able to patiently explain to your baby what is required of him. Do not act rashly and force the child to sit on the pot for hours - it's absolutely nothing. You just need to know and remember that the children's stools depart about the same time: before going to bed or after sleep. Therefore, just work out a schedule of "visiting" the pot, because the kid already understands everything very well at this age, and do not doubt, he will very quickly figure out what is required of him. When you begin to teach the baby to urinate in the pot, stop wearing diapers and diapers. Your little one will immediately feel comfortable, because now only panties are dressed on him and it became much more convenient to move, but it is worthwhile to explain to him that if you do not sit on the pot in time, the comfort will disappear and the panties will be wet.
We already said that children at one-year-old age already understand everything perfectly, and if you repeatedly focus on this, the kid will remember, and will be asked to go to the toilet in time, because he does not want to return to close and stuffy diapers or diapers.
By the time he is 1 year old, the child can already boast 12 teeth. Most likely, it will be 8 incisors and 4 chewing teeth. But it's okay if your crumb does not have as many teeth by the age of twelve months - they can get out within one or three months, and that's also the norm. The most important thing that parents should not forget at the moment of tooth growth is that the child should have enough calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D.
At one-year-old age your baby should be able to:
- stand on legs without assistance;
- Walk independently;
- Run, perhaps, with your help;
- to imitate certain actions of adults;
- Drink from a cup, of course, without your intervention;
- to say simple words;
- understand the requirements of parents;
- know and name all family members by name;
- and, of course, go for a pot.
The growth of a baby at this age ranges from 70 to 75 centimeters. But, again, do not be upset and do not wind yourself if the growth of your crumb at 1 year of life is somewhat different from these parameters - because all babies develop and grow strictly according to their biological clock!
