11-12 months: baby development

Suitable for 11-12 months

Key points

• At 11-12 months, babies communicate in many ways and show many emotions. They might also feed themselves, take first steps and more.
• Talking and listening, singing, reading, moving, playing outside and eating healthy foods are all good for baby learning and development.
• Speak with your GP or child and family health nurse if you’re concerned about your baby's development or if you need support.
