10 Months Milestone
Day 300 · Standing tall and figuring out the whole wide world
Development at 10 Months
Ten months means first steps might be close - though many babies don't walk until 12-15 months, and that's perfectly fine. Watch out for climbing; they're getting bold. They understand so much of what you say now, so keep the chats rich. And try offering simple choices - 'this one or that one?' - to let them feel big.
Daily Care
Ten-month-olds usually sleep 11-14 hours with 1-2 naps. Some move to one longer afternoon nap. Keep offering all kinds of foods and feels - most babies can handle soft table food now. Try a straw cup alongside the sippy cup. And as they understand more, you can start setting clearer, gentle limits.
Your 10-month-old is getting ready for toddler life. Cheer walking on, but don't rush it - crawling does good work too. Offer choices between two things to grow their confidence. Teach gentle hands with pets and other kids. Try steering them to something new instead of saying 'no' all day. And think about playgroups - little friends are good for them.

📝 Memory Tips
Capture this almost-walking stage well - crawling turns to walking so fast. Film their special language of points, sounds, and almost-words. Take videos of them standing alone and stepping with your hands. And catch that fierce little determination as they try new things.
