FirstWeeksYour baby at 47 weeks: eleven-month sprint
Medically-informed · Sources: CDC · Updated June 2026
The pre-birthday sprint: cruising fast, maybe steps behind a push toy, opinions forming and loudly filed.
What’s happening
Opinions, officially
Protesting a taken toy, arching at the car seat, insisting on self-feeding — will and preference are developmental progress wearing an inconvenient costume.
Snack architecture
Three meals plus two-ish snacks commonly becomes the shape; milk feeds consolidate. Appetite varies day to day — the week's average is the honest measure.
Book habits stick now
Short board books at the same daily slots build the reading reflex — Your baby may already turn pages and point at favorites.
What to do
- Offer two acceptable choices where possible — 'red cup or blue?'
- Keep car-seat rules non-negotiable but boring — no drama fuel
- Photograph the almost-walking wobble — it disappears fast
When to check in
Fewer wet diapers or dark urine as milk feeds shift — nudge water sips with meals and mention if persistent.
