Psychomotor development of 10-month-old babies, what can the baby do?
The 10-month-old baby is crawling better and better and can now stand up on his own. Thus, he can move around the room and observe everything. In addition, he begins to pick up objects using the upper digital gripper (index and thumb), which makes it easier for him to explore and manipulate objects. At this age, babies are very active and their curiosity leads them to investigate, touch and take everything within their reach.
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.

How a ten month old baby feeds
Ten-month-old babies are usually able to eat more of the foods their family usually eats, and it is very likely that they will be able to chew something small since they have teeth. The baby will be able, for example, to eat a banana or suck an orange, even if it gets dirty all over. At this stage, babies are already eating themselves with a spoon and there will be more and more solid, whole foods in their diet. It will be easier to feed a baby of this age. Still, don’t forget to introduce only one new food at a time and wait at least two days to make sure your baby isn’t allergic to anything she’s eaten.
