The first year of your baby’s life is full of milestones. Here, we’ve compiled some of the top questions and answers from the SmartMom app about parenting an 11 month old. If you have questions of your own, download the app and ask away!
At 11 months, your baby is closer and closer to be able to walk. He is much more independent. He might mimic you or his older siblings – pretending to brush his teeth, drink out of a cup, even being sleepy. Giving your baby choices at this age helps enable his independence. Setting up safe areas for standing and walking can help him gain the independence he needs to set off on his own.

They are like paper so when I feed I can actually chew them off as they tear really easily. I feel a bit weird biting off her nails but I find it’s the easiest way especially when I’m feeding as she’s calm and doesn’t care what I’m doing. I have also used a nail file as it’s way easier to do that quick vs trying to clip them.

I make funny noises after each nail gets clipped. My son tends to wait for me to do it so he is still. It takes a little time for the breaks for him to laugh or try to make the same noise. He is 14 months. It doesn’t always work because he sometimes just doesn’t want anything to do with the clippers but for the most part it has helped.

I started a week before one and did half formula half milk for a couple days(warm). Then I did 1/4 formula and 3/4 milk(warm). Anything in a bottle was warm and anything in a sippy cup was cold unless it was leftover from bottle. My daughter was completely off bottles at 15 months. I narrowed it down to three bottles at first (morning afternoon night) with sippy cup in between. At 13 months we only did morning and night bottle. Then at 14 months just night bottle.

I was breast feeding my son on formula at all. I started to dry up about a month ago ( he was 10&1/2 months old). My Dr told me to start giving him whole milk not to try formula because it would be for only a month and it could take him that long to find one that works well with him. So he went to whole milk at 10&1/2months and has been doing great. He will be 1 on the 29th of this month. I didn’t mix the milk( do 1/2& 1/2 or anything). Good luck. 😃

Hi smart moms:) I’m new to this app and could use a little help. My son is 11 months old and pretty much since he was born has been very gassy. It’s to the point where he will wake up in the night crying and jolting around with gas pains. I have taken him to his dr and even to a paediatrician. (I give him oval) They both told me nothing was wrong with him. I just feel like something isn’t right. What child has gas that bad all the time!? My poor baby:( thank u in advance for your help.

Gripe water?? That worked for my guys when they were really little but usually they grow out of it by 6 months. Trust your instinct tho if u think something’s up, keep on it. Can u try eliminating some foods (dairy maybe?) to see what it is that might be bothering him?

My 11 week old is so gassy too! His dr told me to try culterelle or however you spell it and suggested switching him to enfamil gentlease (which were gonna do when he turns 12 weeks since I want him on newborn formula the full 3 months) The culterelle works so well hes still gassy but it actually comes out instead of causing him pain and when it does get bad we give him has drops. Are you breastfeeding? Try switching around your diet a little and watch what your baby eats.

Make sure you are burping him between sides. If your chest is more full and he chokes a bit from drinking too fast burp him extra. Make sure you hold him so that his neck is not turned since that can let in extra air causing more gas. If you are putting milk in a bottle burp him every 2.5 oz or if he chokes a bit since the bottle flows faster and let’s in more air. You can also help by laying baby flat and gently pushing his legs up towards his belly. Repeat exercise about 15 times. Really helps

There are a lot of things in breast milk that you eat, that he could have allergies too… I had the same problem.. I tried gas drops, gripe water, I tried to stop eating any dairy but then there is also wheat and egg allergy… I had to stop breast feeding and put him on nutramigen, hydrolyzed formula and he is better . Goodluck!

My son is very gassy too he’s 12 weeks. I gave him some gripe water or infacol and to help him try and get it out I would move his legs in a bicycle motion and bring his knees up to his tummy and push gently. After every feeding I sit him up for about 10-15 mins it causes all the gas bubbles to rise to the top and help him burp it out. If none of that helps I give my son a warm bath and it works

My daughter was like that too for the first 6 months… My doctor told me to try a naturopath and it did wonders!!! No medicine, just a nerve reset all around the body… Now, when I see that she might be getting constipated, I give her probiotics that are called “BioGaia” that are sold at pharmacies over the counter but are very pricy!! Good luck, it is so sad to see them in this discomfort!! Mine was colicky the first 6 months where she would cry 6-8hrs daily!!! 🙁

Are you formula feeding or breastfeeding? If breastfeeding, cut out dairy. It is the number 1 cause of gas pains. If formula feeding, switch to a hypoallergenic type. If you don’t eliminate the cause of the problem he will continue to have the gas pains and you will have to continue to give him some kind of gripe water or medication to relieve the pain until he is off formula or done breastfeeding. Talk to your doctor/lactation consultant!

I fed mine to sleep even when she woke (3+ times a night) because I needed the sleep for work. Something magical happened at like 14 months. I stopped feeding her if she woke up after 2:30 and just pulled her next to me and comforted her to sleep. She would go back to sleep faster and within a week or 2 stopped waking up. She only wakes occasionally now and I don’t even pull her out of bed. She did also start walking at that time which might’ve helped, but…

I started by choosing a time (for me it was 2 am) and deciding not to nurse before that time. When my daughter woke up, I would hold her, rock her and bounce her but no talking or nursing. At first there was lots of thrashing, hollering and tears and it took a long time before she gave up and went back to sleep. Each day it took less time though and eventually she would just lay in my arms quietly and go back to sleep.

After a week or two, she started sleeping through to 2 am. Then I extended it to 3 am, then 4, etc. By the time I got to about 4 she stopped asking for it and we just jumped from there to not until first thing in the morning. She still wakes up once most nights but is usually back asleep within 15-20 min. without nursing.

So I exclusively pump (11 months pp) and generally I’m good with maintaining my supply. But out of no where I have have More milk than I want. I usually pump 9-10 oz per session and this morning I quit at 16 oz. and it’s like I couldn’t stop having let downs. I felt no where near empty and now I feel big and I’m like spraying milk.

Enjoy the extra milk. It’s going to be a diet. You can cut back on pumping a couple days, and your body will adjust if you don’t want the excess. I would take advantage though so you have some extra stored or frozen.

I know :/ but I can’t which is why I don’t store milk. I have high lipase and my son won’t drink milk over 3 days old so i finally got it down to just enough. I have tried scalding it in a pan, microwave, bottle warmer at 3 different temps…I tried doing it right after pumping, hours, days, etc. tried freezing right after…nothing works so I decided it was more headache than it was worth.

Once you put it on a couple of times and position it just right, it’s a piece of cake and super comfy for mom and baby. I put my son on my back with no assistance. Me being 5’9″ and weighing as much as two and a half of you 😉 has nothing to do with it. I recommend giving the ergobaby carrier a try!

Our stokke was the best investment we’ve ever made. It had a metal plate along the back the keep you from improper posture. You can put baby rear and front facing and you can also change it around to become a backpack carrier for children up to 3 years.

Didn’t mean to double post lol my bad. I have two ergobaby carriers. One is the classic one in black/camel and the other is the organic one in an orangey color. They make a bunch of different styles and colors. I’d take a peek at their site if you’re interested. 🙂

And not to be weird…but if you go to the bathroom (like at the grocery store) do you disconnect them? I feel like now I have to talk him in a stroller, bring the stroller back, and then get a cart. Do any of your spouses wear them?

I have been working with my daughter to sit in a stroller or a cart so I don’t have to have to carry her. She kills my back too.

I would just keep my son on when going to the bathroom. It’s a quick affair, why mess with undoing things? Hehe.

My hubby has worn our son a few times. Mostly at home, when he was newbornish, to give me a break.

I feel your pain. I have a 10 month old at 25 lbs. I have bought and tried them all. I revert to the maya wrap I made myself. $5 and a little thread and ur done. If u don’t want to sew it; assemble and take it to the nearest swap meet for them to put 3 lines of stitches and your done. The best for my back and shoulders.

It’s amazing how talented us moms can be, just doing the simplest of tasks, while juggling baby(s) and their mounds of accessories lol
