Month 10

Cruising along the furniture and getting opinions. Both are new, and both are exactly on track.

1
Three meals a day plus milk feeds
With more finger foods and fewer purees.
2
Back sleeping
Firm flat surface, in a crib or safe sleep space, with nothing loose inside it.
3
Furniture anchored to the wall now
That pulling-up is a daily event.

2–3

milk feeds

+ solids

3x / day

~4–5 h

typical gap

Draft figures for this age, pending clinical review.

Trust the worry. None of this is an overreaction.

A fever with a stiff neck, a rash that doesn’t fade when pressed, or unusual drowsiness that’s hard to rouse from.
Signs of dehydration: dry mouth, no tears when crying, noticeably fewer wet diapers, or a sunken soft spot.
Choking, gagging, or persistent coughing during or right after a meal.
A fall that leads to loss of consciousness, vomiting, or not using an arm or leg normally afterward.
No attempt to bear weight on their legs, or no pulling to stand, by this point — worth a specific mention at the next visit.
