11 Month Baby Development Milestones

Physical:  Baby has developed the “pincer” grasp and is able to pick up objects and food with thumb and forefinger.  Baby drinks from a cup.

Cognitive:  Baby begins to understand object permanence, the knowledge that an object is still there, even though he can no longer see it.  Baby begins to form first words.

Social/Emotional:  Although it may have been soothing to baby in the first few months of life, the vacuum and other loud noises may scare an 11 month old.


What You Can Do:

Have fun in the tub with activity sets, such as the Sassy Scrub-a-Dub Car Wash.  These toys offer opportunity to imitate, lessons in object permanence, imaginative play, organization skills and a chance for baby to vocalize.
