JACKSON'S 12 MONTH BABY UPDATE 👶🏼✨ | sleeping, eating, weaning, walking - 1 year baby milestones!

[@selena.nicole9652]

I can’t believe Jackson is 12 months already the time has flown by. He’s a lovely little guy 💙

[@faithclemens4039]

You are my absolute favorite mommy youtuber. I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old. And none of my friends have any kids so it feels very isolating sometimes, especially because of covid. Your channel helps me so much. You inspire me to be a better mom, but also make me feel better about not having everything "perfect" My husband knows when I've been watching your videos because I'll be either reorganizing the house or doing new activities with my toddler 😂

[@jessicaweber7532]

Idk if you’ll see this BUT- My daughter is 13 months now and for a snack or when she doesn’t want ‘real food’, I give her a pouch. She really likes the freedom of walking around and feeding herself. If you go the pouch route, buy the ‘SOFT FOOD POUCH TOP’! It allows them to suck the purée out and prevents them from being able to squeeze the pouch and get the food everywhere. You can even buy reusable pouches from Amazon and make your own food! It has been life saving. Really!

[@jasropergoins2468]

Thank you for sharing this, especially the details of his play and how you're teaching him. My son is now 13 months (born 6 weeks premature) and I'm a SAHM trying to figure out what to do on a day to day to keep him learning and practicing milestones. My son is so similar to what you're experiencing too, thank you for your videos

[@lina.p]

Kayla don't be so hard on yourself! A lower percentile does not mean there's anything wrong. As long as he's growing, which he is, he is healthy ❤️. Both our sons (that are also close in age) were very similar in their sleep and naps! My LO 1st nap is 1.5 hrs and 1-1.5 hrs for the 2nd. I've had to go down to 1 nap recently because his wake windows are longer now. His 2nd nap would be at 4:30 if I did continue them which would've push the bedtime too late. Well, his 1 nap is still 1.5hrs but the night is an extra 30-45 mins. So yeah my dreams of a 2-3 hr nap were crushed. It's completely normal for them to not eat their meal. Keep rotating those meals 👍. Just keep in mind to not give too much milk, the emphasis is on food, especially iron. You're doing great!!

[@lynny95]

You made me feel so much better about what my 12 month is doing! Thank you so much!

[@eslayaya3193]

I’m new to your channel and you helped me so much. I’m a first time mom and I really appreciate your videos. My daughter is one year old so I had to watch this! Keep doing you, your doing great! Someone will always have their opinions but letting your child be independent will go a long way for them!

Also, you’re sooooo close to 100,000 subscribers! Oh my goodness congrats! 😍

[@labeautyxo4185]

He’s growing up so fast! My son is 10 months and is walking and I’m like stop growing! My daughter didn’t walk until she turned 1. Only thing we are struggling with my daughter is speech because we speak English and Spanish and she gets confused. She understands both languages she just turned 2 and she can point at colors she knows what animas i tell her to point it’s her speech she is stuggling. Docotor told me she’s getting confused. She’ll say thank you, bye simple words but definitely working on it. But all kids are different and some learn slower then others but as moms all we can do Is work on it with them♥️

[@alyssalaguna9787]

This is all so true. My girls are about to be one and we barley started solid foods because we tried around 7 months and they were just NOT ready. My girls have been floating in the 1-5 percentile their entire life and they are just small. We BARLEY got them sleeping through the night with the ferber method. Baby Jackson looks so happy and loved!

[@KayceeVillalobos94]

Thank you so much for always providing so much information. My LO will be 12 months in February and so glad I found your channel and that Jackson is just a few weeks older! It's like you are predicting our future issues!

We dropped my daughters second nap at 12 months and now she takes one 2.5-3 hour nap mid day which I prefer anyway. 😍

[@Denise143vder]

I love watching your videos and just seeing that I’m not alone. My daughter is my first and she’s so small and I thought I was doing something wrong because she’s wasn’t gaining weight fast like every baby I know. But just to see that our small babies are healthy makes me feel better as a first time mom.

[@meritacole-joseph3653]

My baby is the same. 1st nap 11am 1 hr. 2nd nap 4pm 1.5-2hrs. If I try to put her down before 4pm she is not having it. Bedtime 8-8:30.

[@YanirahhYo]

My baby recently moved to one nap only but she sleeps for about 12 hours straight at night. Also do you have one of those things that they push and walk with? My daughter was standing and cruising so easily but wouldn’t walk on her own. After I found that walker for her she got a lot of confidence and is walking now!

[@EleonoraFerroni]

in Italy we have tables with weights for foods to be given when weaning babies. So xx gramms of proteins (meat, cheese, legumes and so on), xx gramms of carbs and so on. So I know how much I have to cook of a certain food for him every meal. I usually cook the same thing for everybody now because he is 17 mos old, but I give him a certain amout of food so that I know he ate enough. He doesn't want milk to sleep, he is content after dinner

How did you lengthen the night sleeping so that you didn't feed at night? My daughter is turning 6 months this week, we have been doing a very similar sleeping schedule to you. But she still wakes multiple times a night for feeds. And takes 3 naps during the day 40 mins to an hour long usually.

My son is turning 1 next Saturday! I'm so happy to see that J is doing really great. Funny enough here in Canada the doctors tell you to transition whole milk at 9 months old.

[@shelbybowers3300]

I also live in Canada (Ontario) and my doctor suggested transitioning from formula to whole milk at 12 months old. I'm curious if maybe it is just a doctor specific thing or for different parts of the country.

[@LifeoftheDarkos]

I’m also in Canada and asked my doctor about starting a bit of whole milk before 1 to get my baby used to less breastfeeding when I return to work when he turns 1, and she told me they don’t recommend giving it before age 1 🤷🏻‍♀️. But the healthlinkBC site actually says between 9-12 months, so I’m guessing it must be a bit doctor specific.

[@lindsayferber7511]

He sleeps in till 8?!!! Dang lucky mama lol he might not be ready for 1 nap but his total sleep time is way normal. Maybe try waking him at 7 so he can nap at 10 and 2. But every baby is different. My son has always been up before 7 and took 2 naps till 16 months so I think its just about focusing on the total hours of sleep and trying to tweak it

[@kirstensteyn5050]

Agreed! Wish my boy would sleep until 7am even😂 I get 2 naps in easily still because he wakes up so early so he has “longer” wake times. He is 13 months.

[@philippapay4352]

I thought we did this one already. I may be ahead or behind in my thinking due to the holidays. If your kids complain in later life about you rambling on about them, just tell them to go on Oprah or Dr. Phil or whoever is the chat host du jour then and they can ramble on about you and Joe. An easy to wash mattress is like finding a 4-leaf clover. You can hose it down. It is recyclable. This gets better and better. I love how verbal Jackson continues to be. An hour is not bad for him for nap length. Hope he's drinking all the milk since it's still a huge portion of his nutrition for the day. By the way, that blue sweater looks really good on you. He doesn't need large pieces, but he does need to eat actual chunks of food. Mastication is a biological process that is important to digestion. I'm not joking. He has teeth and he's getting more. If he isn't eating, it is likely that his mouth is hurting from teething or he just isn't all that hungry that day. We all get days when food is not such a big deal for us. We all get in a "food mood" from time to time. Don't you get days when you don't know what you want and if you are really hungry? Well, you can always eat eggs. So can I. You know what I mean in terms of a type of lethargy about something that disappears as quickly as it arrived. Here today, gone tomorrow. In addition to their legs, their backs have to have the strength to walk, so his body could be waiting to depend on his back. He will just walk one day when he's ready. Also, he knows most of the words for things you do and use with him. He just cannot say them yet, but he recognizes them. He can follow certain instructions, but cannot give them yet. He will get comfortable with getting all the sounds out. But all the sounds he makes are him verbalizing with you. He will develop at his own pace. And he will be ahead of Riley in some things even.

For sure all babies are different, my son is also turned 1 but my baby started walking on his 11 months, but he is yet not as clever and mobile as Jackson, my baby is not listening to me while i am talking and doesn’t have interest to respond anything. But his weight and hight is satisfaction.

[@kertneymartinez]

Can you recommend some ways you’ve tried adding formula/milk to foods to help him have more milk? My daughter is 14 months and loved milk and all of a sudden, she is refusing milk. I’ve tried different temperatures, different bottles/sippy cups. So I want to try adding it to foods maybe next? 🤞🏼 (or if someone else reads this comment, I’m open to all recommendations! 😂)

[@lindsayferber7511]

Does she like cheese, yogurt etc? I would just focus on giving all food groups at every meal and getting enough calcium. If you make smoothies you can add dairy or even non-dairy (as long as its fortified) as well as spinach and she will get so much nutrition! I wouldn't stress, just make sure they eat a diverse diet with enough calories and calcium ♥️

[@bonificent3138]

Add milk in making oatmeal and rice. Mashed potatoes, lentils and beans, "refried" beans, dip toast, etc.

[@Y_Gymraes]

The guidance may be different in the 🇺🇸, but here in the 🇬🇧 as long as a baby is over 12months and has a varied diet including enough nutrition there's no need for whole milk. You can give a variety of foods instead like cheese, eggs, meat (or vegan equivalents), seeds, nut butters, beans, avocado, tofu eta. Just thought I'd share incase anyone is stressing about transitioning to cows milk becuase their child doesn't like it. No need to stress. Kids don't need cows milk, they just need the nutrition that is in it. So look at what's in cows milk and just replace the nutritional content with equivalent foods 👍😊

It's very hypocritical that you promote safe sleep by saying you like that the mattress is breathable and you worry about him suffocating, seeings how you had both Riley and Jackson in your bed with you and Joe the first 6 months of their life, which is the number one cause of infant loss. Not to mention the fact you literally put rolled up towels in his playpen. Maybe pick another brand to partner with.
