Key Takeaways
At 14 months, most toddlers are completing the milestones the Canadian Paediatric Society lists at 12 to 14 months and building toward the next set at 18 months.
Gross Motor
A 14 month old often walks on their own or holding your hand, and may start to climb stairs or into chairs with help, per the Canadian Paediatric Society. Over the next few months, toddlers build toward walking without help and climbing into chairs, which the CPS lists at 18 months. Supervise closely and keep climbing safe.
Fine Motor
A 14 month old uses a pincer grasp, puts objects into containers, pokes and points, scribbles with a crayon, and is getting the hang of a spoon and cup, per the Canadian Paediatric Society. Offer stacking toys, crayons and self-feeding practice.
Social & Language
A 14 month old copies the behaviour of adults and other children, points, uses a few words, and may follow a simple instruction, building toward the language and social skills the Canadian Paediatric Society lists at 18 months. Model words and actions, and narrate your day.
DEVELOPMENT & PLAY
- Give safe space to walk and climb (with supervision) and toys to stack, post and scribble with. Barefoot is still best indoors. For outside, pick shoes with thin, flexible soles — a toddler learns balance by feeling the ground, and a stiff sole gets in the way of that.
- Model and narrate — words, actions and kindness. Read together daily.
- Offer simple choices and one-step instructions to build language and cooperation.
FEEDING
- Offer a variety of family foods in safe textures; keep iron-rich foods coming toward the ~7 mg daily need for 1–3 years.
- Keep milk (whole cow’s milk or toddler formula) to about 500 mL a day, in an open cup.
- Offer water with meals and snacks, in an open cup or a straw cup rather than a hard-spouted sippy cup — both are better for how your toddler learns to drink and swallow. Continue vitamin D for breastfed and partly breastfed toddlers.
SAFETY
- Anchor tip-prone furniture, add window guards, and gate stairs for a climbing toddler.
- Keep hazards and choking-risk foods out of reach, and supervise all eating and climbing.
Questions fréquemment posées
What should a 14 month old be doing?
A 14 month old is often walking, starting to climb with help, using a pincer grasp and a spoon, pointing, saying a few words, and copying others, per the Canadian Paediatric Society’s 12-to-14-month milestones. Toddlers build toward walking without help and saying more words by 18 months. Every child develops at their own pace; raise concerns, especially in more than one area, with your doctor.
How do I handle toddler climbing safely?
Climbing is normal at this age — the Canadian Paediatric Society lists climbing into chairs and stairs among skills toddlers develop around now and by 18 months. Anchor tip-prone furniture to the wall, add window guards, gate stairs, and never leave a climbing toddler unsupervised near height. Give safe places to climb, like low cushions, to satisfy the urge.
The crib is now a climbing frame too. Set the mattress to its lowest position if you haven’t, and take out anything a toddler could stand on — large stuffed animals especially. A crib is only as tall as the thing your toddler is standing on inside it.
How much should a 14 month old eat and drink?
Offer a variety of family foods at regular meals and snacks, with iron-rich foods still important (about 7 mg iron a day for 1–3 years), per the Canadian Paediatric Society. Let your toddler decide how much to eat — appetites swing day to day. Keep milk to about 500 mL a day in a cup, and offer water with meals. Keep added salt and sugar low.
Front teeth aren’t chewing teeth. Without back molars, a toddler can’t grind food properly however capable they look — so cut grapes and cherry tomatoes lengthwise rather than across, slice hot dogs lengthwise too, and skip popcorn, whole nuts, hard raw vegetables and hard candy.
Is it normal for my toddler’s appetite to change?
Yes. Toddler appetites naturally swing from day to day and meal to meal as growth slows after the first year. Offer healthy options at regular times, let your toddler decide how much to eat, and keep offering foods they’ve refused — it can take many tries. Avoid pressuring or bribing, which tends to backfire.
How much sleep does a 14 month old need?
A 14 month old usually sleeps around 11 to 14 hours over a 24-hour period, per the Canadian Paediatric Society, typically on two naps. A consistent bedtime routine, a calm wind-down, and avoiding late naps all help. A comfort item like a blanket or stuffed animal is often welcome.
