50th percentile (median) on the WHO Child Growth Standards. Healthy babies vary widely around these numbers.
Development at 14 months
Your toddler is curious and busy, climbing, stacking and trying to do things for themselves.
What you might notice
- Walks well alone
- Climbs onto low furniture
- Uses a few words and lots of gestures
- Tries to use a spoon
- Scribbles with a crayon
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
One or two naps a day is normal. Toddlers can resist bedtime: calm, consistent limits help. Put your baby down on their back on a firm, flat surface with nothing loose in the cot.
Your checklist this month
- Anchor bookcases and drawers to the wall.
- Let your toddler practise feeding themselves.
- Offer crayons and simple puzzles.
