12-24 months
You baby is developing into a toddler during this stage. He or she may start walking and start saying their first words. Remember, babies develop at different paces, so if your little one isn’t doing these things, try not to worry. During this stage, your toddler might be wanting to get into everything around the house, so do make sure that all hazardous things are out of reach, and child locks are put onto cupboards. Your child may still not like you going out of their sight, but this is to be expected; they are learning about the world around them and that you will come back for them. Simple games like puzzles, building blocks, and using chunky crayons are great for this stage, and for their development.
