What should a normal one-year-old baby be able to do?
Under normal conditions, a one-year-old baby should be able to eat independently, walk a short distance, and perform simple actions such as passing a ball. They can call "mommy" and "daddy" as well as other family members, and enjoy playing with other babies. At one year of age, parents should encourage their babies to walk more independently, ensuring their safety and speaking with them frequently.
1. Gross Motor Skills: They should be able to climb stairs, stand steadily, take a few steps, and even walk.
