Developmental Milestones Your Baby Should Reach By 10 Months
Your ten-month-old is enjoying their new found freedom through an exploration drive. Babies at this stage can crawl, try to stand with support when seated, squat while holding onto something and navigate through areas holding onto things for support. Some may have even started walking and for those who have not will do soon. Babies can spot things, and their hand-eye coordination helps them grasp objects quickly. They like being engaged in activities which tap into their motor skills like stacking and arranging things.
Cognitive Milestones
Develops Object permanence and searches for hidden objects: Object permanence is the ability to recognize the existence of an object. At ten months a baby knows that an object even if hidden does exist and will become less anxious when a parent is out of sight. This leads to inquisitiveness, and your baby will start looking for things that are out of their vision.
Enjoys pictures and images: Open an image-rich book and see your toddler getting immersed in it. He or she will love listening to stories and will absorb all the colorful illustration to process the words, sounds and sentences.
Comprehends and associates words with meanings: Your ten month old will know to associate the names of things and also acknowledge words like “Hi”, No”, “Yes” and “Bye”.
Mimics and repeats actions: A typical accomplishment most ten-month-olds will be able to imitate actions. They can form memories of action and their response to it. You may often find your infant nodding at you to get a response from you.
Understands request: At ten months your baby can understand a request that you make and will respond to it. Ask your baby to hand over something, and he or she will slide it into your hand.
Physical Milestones
These milestones relate to the development of physical traits and gross motor skills
Crawls well: Your ten-month-old is now an Olympic level crawler and may even make an attempt to walk with support. Watch him, or she explores every nook and corner as they crawl their way to adventure.
Using pincer grasp: Your baby will now effectively use the grasp of the index finger and thumb to get a firm hold of small objects. This aids in picking and eating finger foods.
Comprehends and associates words with meanings: Your ten-month-old will know to associate the names of things and also acknowledge words like “Hi”, No”, “Yes” and “Bye”.
Mimics and repeats actions: A typical accomplishment most ten-month-olds will be able to imitate actions. They can form memories of action and their response to it. You may often find your infant nodding at you to get a response from you.
Understands request: At ten months your baby can understand a request that you make and will respond to it. Ask your baby to hand over something, and he or she will slide it into your hand.
Sits without the support and moves forward while standing: With stronger back and abdomen muscles, your baby will sit on his own when he is bored of staying on his tummy. Your baby may make an attempt to walk by putting a foot forward holding onto something for support. Eventually, he will cruise from one place to another by taking small steps with support.
Central incisors in place: Two lower incisors erupt at eight months and the upper ones when they are ten months old. This helps the baby to cut the finger food.
Increased vision and sense coordination: With a developed vision, your baby will be able to identify the distance to any object, and this will eventually improve hand-eye coordination.
Social and Emotional Development Milestones
These milestones display your baby’s social abilities and emotional temperament.
Waving goodbye: Your ten-month-old will understand the importance of this social gesture, and you may find yourself smiling as you walk out to work. If you are lucky, you could even hear a muffled “bye-bye” from their mouth.
Anxiety amidst strangers: A ten-month-old will be uncomfortable around a stranger and resist going towards them.
Separation pains: According to research babies tend to develop separation anxiety after ten months. They may cling to you or their primary caregiver and even throw tantrums to make you stay.
Reactions to situations: Different situations evoke different reactions from your infant. They may seem a little scared when they hear a loud noise or maybe chirpy at the sight of a singing bird.
Communication Skills
Babies are excellent mimicry artists at this stage and will seem to enact all your actions. If you wave your hand, they will wave back
Babies listen carefully to the sound of your words and also gauge your reactions. She may cry when she sees you sobbing.
Ten-month-olds can follow simple commands like waving hands, clapping or nodding their heads in approval.
Babies will address their name correctly at this stage and will even respond to their name.
Sleep Milestones
At ten months, your baby will generally take a one hour hap during the day.
Some babies may still take two short naps during the day.
It is better to have them nap after lunch to avoid any cranky behavior through the afternoon until bedtime.
Babies will make up any lost sleep by sleeping for an extra hour or so in the night or sleep through the night.
Eating Milestones
Expand your baby’s palate by introducing new foods in the form of solids.
Offer boiled chunks of carrots, potatoes and other finger food that can be chewed and cut with their incisors
Avoid giving nuts, grapes or hard food that they may choke on. Offer finger foods to help them use their pincer grasp.
Encourage them to use the spoon to feed themselves even if it is a messy affair. You could reserve the last bit of food for them to eat on their own when their tummies are almost full. This could help them learn to be independent.
When to Worry?
Watch out for these delayed signs of development
Babies crawl without any difficulty by ten months, and if your infant is not doing so, it is a cause for concern. Most babies can even stand with support which is a foundation for walking.
A ten-month-old may not start speaking but will make a wide variety of sounds and noises. If your little one is unusually calm, then seek medical advice.
Babies at this age will have their incisors in place, and if they do not, then it indicates a dental issue.
If your baby fails to recognize the faces they see on a regular basis it indicates trouble in vision or cognitive abilities.
Ways to Help Ten Month Baby Achieve Major Developmental Milestones
Some simple techniques to hone their developmental accomplishments and assist them in achieving more:
Since they are now on an adventure drive, free up space for them to crawl and strengthen their muscles. Remove any hindrances that could prove hazardous.
Buy your child a walker, push a car that will support the baby’s weight. This will encourage them to stand and start taking their first steps.
Keep talking to your child to help them discern words, phrases and pick up languages. Engage in games and activities that will pique their curiosity. Join a group to garner social interaction.
Introduce soft finger foods and encourage them to pick it up and eat. Eating finger foods are known to help the baby wean easily after they turn one.
A healthy baby at this stage will subsequently develop these milestones with proper nutrition and nurturing of skills. Encouragement and affection are key to assist them in their activities to explore and learn. If you feel there is something amiss, don’t ignore your instinct and rush to the doctor immediately.

Bipasha Basu's Fitness Mantra: A Guide to Flat Abs
Getting a sculpted figure wasn’t so much a choice but a priority once she took on more roles. Today, she looks stunning with her amazingly toned body and it’s all due to a well-disciplined lifestyle and fitness regime. It’s the Bipasha Basu workout plan that deserves mention.
Bipasha Basu, one of the fittest actresses in tinsel town, is a strict devotee to exercise, diet and wellness. With two fitness DVDs already released and a third on its way, it pays to know just how this beauty stays so trim!
A Breakdown of Bipasha Basu’s Fitness Regime
1. The Plan
A typical workout plan starts with 108 ‘Surya namaskar’s’ every morning. She spends an hour on a rigorous cardio workout, spacing it out within a 50-minute session:
Treadmill 20 minutes
Cycling 20 minutes
Cross-trainer 10 minutes
Bipasha mixes it up with some weight and strength exercises six days a week, divided into sections devised to tackle different areas of the body each day: The road to Bipasha Basu’s six-pack abs:
Day 1 – upper body workout
Day 2 – abdominal region
Day 3 – leg and lower body workout
Day 4 – gluteus maximus workout
Day 5 – upper body workout
Day 6 – ab workout plus gluteus maximus workout
She also throws in a little kickboxing for fun!
2. Bipasha Basu’s Weightloss Tips
Bipasha emphasises the importance of living a disciplined life and maintaining a regular exercise plan. Her advice is to give your workout all you’ve got and keep changing it to prevent monotony. She also advises a good night’s sleep of 7 to 8 hours and, of course, drinking enough water even if you don’t feel thirsty.
3. Bipasha Basu’s Diet Plan
The key to a healthy body is exercise and a balanced diet. Bipasha's day starts with customary warm water and lime, followed by soaked peanuts and a cup of tea. Breakfast is big and consumed within an hour of exercising. Six egg whites, toast, porridge, a glass of skimmed milk and fresh fruits completes her platter. Lunch is kept simple, consisting of a bowl of dal, vegetables and chapattis. She gives rice a miss and opts for wheat or soy chapattis instead. Junk food's a no-no in Bipasha Basu’s workout and diet routine! Water and coconut water keeps her hydrated and maintains that glow. Continuing Bipasha Basu’s diet and exercise plan, her evening snack is a cup of tea with digestive biscuits. Dinner is light, with grilled chicken or steamed fish and green salad. She sticks to olive oil and ensures all her food is cooked in it. Being a Bengali, she can’t resist mithai, rewarding herself after a hard day’s workout and a well-balanced diet!
4. Bipasha Basu’s Diet Tips
According to Bips, all those workouts in the gym don't add-up if you don’t eat right. As a rule, she stays away from red meat and rice. For beautiful skin, she recommends fish, nuts, barley sprouts, yoghurt, fruits and leafy green vegetables. Her personal recommendation, however, is to love yourself and your body!
For Bipasha, her hard work has paid off and turned her into a fitness icon. Her mantra is to put your heart and soul into your exercises. If you’re up for following Bipasha Basu's workout and diet plan, make sure you stick to it with determination, and get yourself healthy! Read more
