Physical development of a child at 1 year

The pace of the baby’s physical development begins to slow down after 12 months. The baby's height and weight will not increase as quickly as it did in the first months of life. These indicators must be recorded every 1-3 months to ensure that the child’s development does not deviate from the norm.

Table of weight and height of a child from 1 year to 2 years by month

Height and weight parameters may not fit into the norm; this may be either a delay in growth or an increase in the parameters averaged by pediatricians. Each child grows and matures on his own schedule. We can talk about a violation of the pace of development only when the child has an abnormally low or high height/weight compared to his peers.

The main points on increasing the height and weight of a baby by one year, how many times does a one-year-old child eat and what skills does he begin to master at this age are also discussed in this video:

Body proportionality

A baby’s appearance changes more every year than their body size. The largest parts of the body of a one-year-old baby are the head and tummy, which protrudes forward. The face has rounded, soft contours. The child's arms and legs are short and soft relative to the body, without a hint of muscularity.

Increase in head volume

The head circumference at this age reaches 46.6 cm and by one and a half years it increases to 47.9-48 cm. During the second year of life, the head volume can increase by 2.5 cm. By the age of two, the baby’s head size will be almost 90% of standard adult head size.

Number of teeth

This indicator largely depends on heredity.
The amount of calcium in the body is also important. On average, the figure can vary from 4-6 to 10 teeth erupted. It is important that the baby’s diet includes dairy products (breast milk, baby cottage cheese, kefir), as well as vitamin D. Note! A pediatrician can assess the physical development of a child at one year on the basis of proportionality, which is taken into account along with body weight and length. A well-built baby has a chest circumference greater than the head circumference by a number of centimeters equal to the child’s age.

Differences in the development of boys and girls per year

According to standard WHO data, children of different sexes have different height and weight parameters. You can compare indicators from one year to two years by month using the table above. Height and weight per year according to average WHO data for one-year-old babies are as follows:

• Boys. Weight – from 10.0 kg to 10.9 kg. Height – from 75.3 to 78 cm.
• Girls. Weight – from 9.0 kg to 10.6 kg. Height – from 74.0 to 77.4 cm.

As for skills, boys and girls develop them at approximately the same rate, although, according to experts, girls may begin to speak earlier. Also, some studies suggest that boys are more active and mobile in games, but this difference is not very significant.

First achievements - what skills does a child master by the age of one?

Knowing what skills a baby should master by 12 months, parents will be able to better understand their child and come to his aid if any difficulties arise. It's worth remembering: the more complex the skill, the longer it will take to master it. For example, a baby can take his first steps at both 11 and 15 months. If you notice the prerequisites for your child to master new skills, then real success is not far off.

Nutrition for a one-year-old child

At one year of age, children enter a transitional stage in nutrition, because they develop teeth and chewing skills, and the gastrointestinal tract already allows them to digest and assimilate more complex foods. In addition, taste preferences are gradually expanding.

Up to one and a half years, you can leave five meals a day, but if you notice that the child refuses the last meal, then you should try to remove it, leaving only breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner. This is the required minimum. You need to feed your child by the hour (remember the routine?), and if your plans include attending kindergarten, it is better to “adjust” the schedule to it.

The daily diet should be 1100-1200 ml of food with a puree consistency.

Breakfast and dinner should account for approximately 1/4 of the total daily requirement, lunch - 1/3, the rest - for afternoon snacks.

Approximate amount of food that a child can consume per day:

• breast milk/formula and kefir – 500-600 g;
• vegetables – 200-350 g;
• fruits – 200 g;
• porridge – 200 g;
• meat – 75 g;
• cottage cheese – 50 g;
• eggs – 40-50 g;
• bread – 40 g;
• fish – 30 g;
• sugar/fructose – no more than 40 g.

These are the main products for feeding a one-year-old child; the entire children's diet consists of their combinations. It should be taken into account that children are often allergic to eggs and fish, and legumes cause bloating and diarrhea.

For porridges, it is better to choose buckwheat and oatmeal; these cereals are rich in carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Once every few days you can cook rice porridge - it helps improve digestion, but is not rich in vitamins.

Industrial sweets - cakes, pastries, sweets, caramel, chocolate - should not be given to children. Give preference to natural treats - marshmallows, marmalade.

Since the child is also a person, and sooner or later he will get tired of eating the same thing, you can add 5-10 g of cheese, sour cream, sunflower or other vegetable oil to the menu. Salt – no more than 3 g per day.

Healthy one-year-old children no longer need night feedings, so sleep and food should be separated. Any food and drink, except water and breast milk, consumed at night is harmful to teeth, overloads digestion and worsens appetite during the day.

You can give relief and return night feeding when the child feels unwell or is actively learning a new skill, but when the acute period is over, night meals should be eliminated again.

It is also advisable to leave breastfeeding only in the morning and before bedtime.

It is necessary to offer the child something to drink between feedings - use boiled water or weak tea for this. Let your child have access to his bottle or sippy cup. To quench your thirst, you should not use juices and compotes; they are sweet and will not cope with the task. Save them for meals.

Speech of a child at 1 year

From the age of one year, a child begins to understand literally everything that an adult tells him. The child's responsiveness encourages communication with him. With a one-year-old baby, you can gradually learn to name objects, colors, body parts, without replacing their correct name with “childish” language. By setting an example of correct speech from a young age, you will help your child learn to pronounce words with a minimum of difficulty.

Key points in speech development at this age:

• Points with his finger objects or pictures in the book that his parents call him (“where is the ball?”, “Show me the dog!”).
• Says a few simple words (by 15-18 months);
• Follows simple instructions and requests (“let’s go have breakfast”, “bring the doll”);
• Tries to repeat the words he hears;
• Expresses denial by shaking his head (“no”).

It may take time before you learn to understand your baby, including his gestures. Remember, you should never laugh at your baby’s speech mistakes, even if you find them funny. The pronunciation will gradually improve, you just need to be patient and attentive to your child.

Daily routine and sleep of a one-year-old child

For children who are actively learning new skills, their sleep-wake schedule is very important because they need long-term, quality rest.

During the day, one-year-old children need to sleep about 13.5 hours, of which 11-11.5 at night and twice during the day for 1-1.5 hours. The waking time between naps should be about 3-4 hours, otherwise the child may become overtired or overexcited, which will negatively affect evening bedtime.

Why else might a one-year-old child have difficulty sleeping at night:

• he does not have a clear daily routine;
• he is put to bed later than usual;
• he slept too long during the day;
• he is uncomfortable;
• not trained to fall asleep independently.

Obviously, most problems with falling asleep arise from the lack of a daily routine or its violations. A child needs routine - repeated actions every day for hours at a time, which will help him develop a sense of stability. At the same time, routine helps parents better plan their time and, if possible, fit personal interests into the difficult life with their baby.

You can often find advice on creating an early routine for children, with getting up at about 7 am and going to bed at 21:00. Many consider it optimal. However, pediatrician Komarovsky authoritatively states: there is no “correct” time for putting a child to bed. Correlate any advice with your family and build a sleep and wakefulness schedule that suits you.

Routine includes not only the daily routine, but also the so-called “sleep rituals” and “waking rituals.” They are needed to show the child when the day has come and when it has ended.

For example, if you are still on breastfeeding, it is quite possible to start the day with breastfeeding. A “waking up ritual” could be a joint opening of the curtains, some kind of morning greeting - words, kisses, hugs.

When organizing your one-year-old child's routine, give the first half of the day to learning something new, because... a rested brain will better absorb information. The second half of the day can be devoted to active joint games and a walk.

Two hours before bedtime, move on to quiet games, reading books and looking at pictures. Avoid physical activity and watching cartoons.

Just before going to bed for the night, start your sleep rituals. Think about what can relax a child: a bath before bed, stroking, a lullaby, switching attention, emotional support? Try, look for options, but at the same time try to teach children to fall asleep without your rocking, and also separate food and sleep so as not to form the habit of calming down with food (which in adulthood will turn into the habit of eating stress).

Before naps, you can use a shortened version of the evening “sleepy” rituals to relax the child.
