Around eleven months, physical confidence is climbing, sometimes literally, and pretend play is appearing. Here is what is normal.
Typical day · week 47
- Feeds: 3 to 4 milk feeds plus 3 meals
- Sleep: 13 to 14 hours across day and night
- Naps: 2 naps, wake windows of 3 to 4 hours
- Diapers: 4 to 6 wet per day
Feeding
Family foods with milk alongside; keep variety up even through pickier patches. Offer water in a cup at meals.
Sleep
One midday nap of one to two hours is typical.
Diapers
Stool reflects the diet; steady output is the marker.
Growth
Climbing, attempting stairs with help, and emerging running. New words appear regularly, comprehension is well ahead, and your baby starts using words rather than only pointing to make requests.
This week's leap
Symbolic play is a real cognitive leap, feeding a teddy, putting a doll to bed, driving a car with sound effects, so offer simple open-ended props. Provide safe climbing, and read, asking what is happening in the pictures. Play is mostly side-by-side (parallel) at this age; true cooperative play comes nearer three years.
From three months, 101.3°F (38.5°C) or above warrants assessment. A new limp, refusing to bear weight on one leg, or a hip with restricted movement should be checked. Fewer than six words at fifteen months is worth an early speech referral. If you are planning another pregnancy, a pre-conception chat about folic acid and timing is worthwhile. None of this is medical advice; every baby is different, and your midwife, health visitor or doctor is the person to ask about your own child.
The calm way to follow all of this is to log it in one tap as it happens, then read the pattern over a few days rather than carrying it in your head. Little Bean shows this same week-by-week guidance inside the app, beside your own baby's log.
Quick answers: 47 weeks
How often should a 47-week-old eat?
Most babies this age take 3 to 4 milk feeds plus 3 meals. Feed on demand rather than by the clock; steady weight gain and enough wet diapers are the real signs intake is fine.
How much sleep does a 47-week-old need?
Roughly 13 to 14 hours across day and night. 2 naps, wake windows of 3 to 4 hours. The range is wide, so treat these as averages rather than targets.
What are typical wake windows at 47 weeks?
2 naps, wake windows of 3 to 4 hours. An overtired baby fights sleep harder, so watch the clock and the tired signs together.
