👶 Your 14-Month-Old Baby

🌱 Development at 14 months

• Walks alone, sometimes falling
• Points to show you something interesting
• Stacks two blocks
• Uses a spoon with spills

These are things most children (about 3 in 4) can do by this age. Babies born early may reach them later — use their corrected age.

📏 Growth: WHO weight, length and head size

Any steady curve within this range is normal; what matters is that your baby follows their own curve over time.

🍼 Feeding

• Let your toddler self-feed with fingers and spoon
• Iron-rich foods every day: lentils, eggs, meat, green leafy vegetables

😴 Sleep and teeth

• Total sleep: 11–14 h in 24 hours, usually 1–2 naps (National Sleep Foundation and American Academy of Sleep Medicine ranges).
• Teeth that often come through around now: lower side incisors, first molars.

💉 Vaccines due at 14 months

No routine vaccine is scheduled this month on the IAP or UIP schedules. Check that earlier doses are complete.

💡 Tips for this month

• Toddler-proof the home again now that climbing starts
• Read and sing together daily
