Some parents and friends find that other babies can already speak and walk, but their own babies cannot speak fluently or walk steadily. They feel particularly anxious and even suspect that their own babies may have some illness. In fact, babies speak and walk at different times, some early and some late. So, how many months can the baby speak and walk?
How many months can the baby speak?
Babies with early pronunciation can start speaking at around 10 months old, while those with delayed pronunciation start speaking at around 1 year old. At 10 months, babies can accurately imitate changes in tone and begin to produce words. At 11 months old, babies can answer simple questions by looking with their eyes and using their fingers, such as asking: Where is dad? Babies can look at their fathers with their eyes or point their fingers at them. At 12 months, babies can understand and master 10-20 words.
Although the baby speaks less at this time, they are able to express their wishes and requests with words and begin to communicate with others through language. When approaching the age of one, babies can not only understand the meaning of words and phrases, but also respond to adult language. When a baby hears an adult say 'give the apple to the mother to eat', he will take the apple and put it into the mother's mouth. At this time, babies often use the same word to express different meanings. For example, 'rice' may refer to 'I want to eat candy' or 'I want to eat'.
How many months can the baby walk?
It takes about 12 months for babies to move from lying down to sitting, and from crawling to standing up. Infants under the age of one have underdeveloped bones and muscles, and standing and walking too early can cause excessive foot load and damage to their feet, seriously affecting the formation of feet and leading to flat feet. Therefore, experts suggest that parents wait until their babies are one year old before letting them practice walking. Allowing children to walk too early before their bones are fully developed can affect their physical development.
When a baby is 10-11 months old, they can practice their ability to stand, which is the first stage of learning to walk. When parents can let go and the baby can stand steadily, they can start to try walking.
When babies are 11-12 months old, learning to squat is a compulsory course for them. Parents should pay attention to training their babies in the continuous movement of "standing, squatting, and standing" to enhance their leg strength and train their body coordination.
When a baby is 12-13 months old, they need to learn how to walk by supporting things. Parents must take good care of the baby! Slowly teach the baby to let go of the armrest and walk two to three steps, but also practice squatting and standing to enhance their balance ability.
When a baby is 13-15 months old, they are already able to walk well and their exploration of things around them gradually increases. Parents should take their baby to unfamiliar places more often to satisfy their curiosity and train their adaptability to different terrains. Of course, babies need to continue training their leg strength and coordination between their body and eyes.
The above is an introduction to how many months a baby can speak and walk. Generally speaking, babies can start speaking around 10 months old, and as they grow older, their speech becomes increasingly fluent. As for the baby's walking time, it is usually around 12 months old, and parents and friends can assist the baby in practicing walking.
