Conclusion

Welcome to Month 12—your baby is officially a one-year-old! This month marks incredible growth, with your baby likely weighing between 8.5 to 10.8 kg and measuring 70-80 cm. They may be standing without support or even taking their first steps! Curiosity and independence are growing strong, and they may start showing signs of separation anxiety. Encourage their exploration with picture books and allow them to try things on their own, like feeding themselves. Remember, every baby grows at their own pace. For questions or advice, connect with an Apollo doctor or join our supportive community. You’ve got this, Supermom!
