50th percentile (median) on the WHO Child Growth Standards. Healthy babies vary widely around these numbers.
Development at 13 months
Your toddler is gaining confidence on their feet and in communicating. They point to show you things and may add new words.
What you might notice
- Walks a few steps alone or with one hand held
- Points to show you something
- Says one or two words besides mama and dada
- Stacks two blocks
- Imitates everyday actions such as talking on the phone
Feeding
Offer three meals and two or three healthy snacks a day, eating together as a family when you can. The AAP suggests about 2 to 3 cups (16 to 24 oz) of milk a day for toddlers, and no juice is needed. Keep offering new foods: it can take many tries before a child accepts one.
Sleep
Most toddlers take 1 or 2 naps. If your child resists the morning nap, they may be getting ready to move to one nap. Put your baby down on their back on a firm, flat surface with nothing loose in the cot.
Your checklist this month
- Name things around you to build vocabulary.
- Offer an open cup or a cup with a straw at meals.
- Avoid screens other than video chat, as the AAP advises before 18 months.
