Babywise Baby Twelfth Month Overview

As your baby moves through this month and toward being a 12 month old, here are some things to expect.

EAT

If you are still breastfeeding, you might be thinking about weaning from that coming up. Some people start to wean with an 11 month old so that you are done at 12 months old, while others wait to start weaning at 12 months old or older. There is no right or wrong general timeline–just best for your family.

If you are bottle feeding, you might be thinking about weaning from a bottle and moving toward a sippy cup and/or weaning from formula.

No matter what you might be weaning from, see my post How To Wean Baby from Breast, Bottle, and Formula for all the tips.

You still want 3-4 liquid feedings in a day and 3 solid feedings in a day with an optional snack.

If baby is not eating meals with the family, this is a good time to start thinking about that. Read through this post for full info and tips.

Wake

Your wake time tips stay the same as they have been for a while. Have independent playtime each day. Learning time is great to have–it can be super, super simple.

Independent playtime can be up to 60 minutes once a day, or you can still do shorter times twice a day.

Sleep

Stick to two naps, even if you think your baby needs one nap. Your baby still needs two naps. If you really think your baby is ready for one nap, read my post on the nap transition time first.

11 Month Old Schedule Basics

Babies in the 9-12 month old age range have:

3-4 liquid feedings
3 solid feedings
A snack if needed/desired (snack can be a great time to practice finger food eating)
2 naps per day
10-12 hours of sleep at night
Independent Playtime for up to 60 minutes, typically once a day
Need for discipline throughout the day
