When did your baby start handing /giving you things and playing peekaboo

[mongo123]

So my baby is 10mths old and she does not hand me things yet or give me when i ask. She also does not feed me yet. She will not initiate peekaboo om her own yet but will pull the blanket from my face to hear me say peekaboo.

Almost all of the babies on my birthboard are doing these things already and its making me worried. My babe claps, points, gives high fives , gives kisses for reference.

Anyone else can say if it came later and if so when?

My 10 month old plays and initiates peekaboo. But she doesn't point, hand me things, high five or give kisses. However, I know my 3 year old didn't do those things until around the 1 year mark, so it's not a worry.

Thank you so much for your reply. Glad to hear it can come around the 1 year mark. was he around 1 year for peekaboo too. The pointing is a much later milestone so your daughter has legit plenty time. The peekaboo was asked at 9mth questionnaire so she is very on track. I guess we just have to model giving and sharing

I really wouldn't worry too much about milestone trackers. They're just rough guides- all babies are different. I don't think he played peekaboo until about 14 months... he just wasn't that bothered about it - whereas my 10 month old finds it hilarious. I don't think he gave kisses until around then either. He's now a happy, bright 3 year old.

Oh thank u so much. Glad to know he did it late and all was okay. Im sure its prob a preference it seems as she claps on her own for bingo song. She likes peekaboo but she is not the hugest fan of it. Those milestonr trackers can cause a lot of anxiety indeed.

The only real milestone is pointing and babies usually pick it up between 9 and 18 months.

All the other gestures are various examples of displaying joint attention and each baby will have their "favourites". Mine loved clapping and looking out for praise. She got into peekaboo just before she turned 12 months. She never liked waving good-bye and refused to do it until later.

Thank you for replying. Makes sense that they have their favourites. I think the wording and specifics on the questions like how they specify peekaboo or patty cake throws ppl off. Because like yours...mine likes to clap now too and looks for praise. If i tell her clap or dance without gesturing or singing she does it so i feel that meets the "intent" in a way. You are right about pointing...its very important and i didnt always know that. She is finger pointing so thats reassuring.
