Question

My child is 11 months old, active, and will eat when given food, but doesn’t respond when spoken to. He completely doesn’t understand what adults are saying, putting everything into his mouth.

Answer

Based on your description, your 11-month-old baby’s development seems to be generally normal, as many babies can do these things at this age. However, if the baby doesn’t respond to adult speech at all, you may need to increase language development training. Most babies at this age can understand simple commands like ’no’ and can put objects into containers. Your baby may not have any issues, but you can consider reinforcing language training to promote his language development. Have a pleasant day!
