Coming up to eleven months, your baby is in full developmental stride, with 'no' becoming a favorite. Here is what is normal.
Typical day · week 48
- 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. Tastes are still flexible at this age, so keep offering a wide range even when some is refused, repeated, pressure-free exposure is what works.
Sleep
A single midday nap of one to two hours, with consistent bedtimes supporting learning, mood and behavior.
Diapers
Stool reflects the diet; steady output is the marker.
Growth
Running is on its way, beginning as fast, unsteady walking. Vocabulary keeps growing, with a big acceleration usually after eighteen to twenty-four months.
This week's leap
Limit-testing, including 'no', is healthy development, not defiance, and your calm, consistent response shapes self-regulation. Pick your battles so the important nos carry weight, narrate through the day to model language, and get outside daily for sleep, appetite and mood.
From three months, 101.3°F (38.5°C) or above warrants assessment. White spots on teeth, pain with sweet or cold food, or discoloration deserves a dental check; early decay treats well. Not walking by fifteen months is worth an early assessment. Mobile babies reach 'safe' shelves, so guard against accidental poisoning. 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: 48 weeks
How often should a 48-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 48-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 48 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.
