Standard Developmental Milestones for a One-Year-Old Child

Developmental milestones for a 1-year-old baby:

1. Physical development:

Weight: Boys 7.21-14.00 kg, girls 6.87-13.15 kg.

Height: Boys 68.6-85.0 cm, girls 67.2-83.4 cm.

Head circumference: Boys 42.6-50.5 cm, girls 41.5-49.3 cm.

2. Intellectual development:

Gross motor skills: Babies can practice walking independently or with assistance, although their gait may still be unsteady. They can bend over to pick up objects without falling.

Fine motor skills: They can grasp small objects using the thumb and fingers, such as picking up beans or small balls, and may start attempting self-feeding.

3. Language development:

Comprehension stage: In addition to "dada" and "mama," babies can understand some simple words and sentences.

Expression stage: Babies can say simple words such as "dada" and "mama" and understand their meanings.

4. Cognitive development: Babies begin to imitate adult behaviors, such as pretending to talk on a toy telephone. They can recognize familiar people and objects and show interest in peek-a-boo games, indicating an emerging understanding of object permanence.

5. Social skills: One-year-old babies start showing interest in peers and may attempt to interact with them, although these interactions are still very basic. They also become more attached to parents or primary caregivers and may display separation anxiety.

Every baby develops at his or her own pace. If you have any concerns about your baby's development, please consult a doctor at the hospital.
