Psychomotor development of 11-month-old babies, what can the baby do?
The 11-month-old baby continues to crawl to get around, but can already walk leaning on furniture or holding onto the adult’s hands. His fine motor skills are more developed and he can pick up and manipulate smaller and smaller objects. He can already hold the spoon, so it is a good time to let him experiment with it when he is going to eat and encourage him to learn the use of cutlery.
The calendar of development milestones is always indicative. Some babies acquire certain skills before others or develop one more quickly and another more slowly.
Premature babies, those born with low birth weight and those who have had problems in the first days/weeks of life may progress more slowly.
