Does a 1-year-old wave?
⚡ Short answer: Watch for waving, 'bye bye,' and pointing gestures — these pop up between 9–14 months and come before full waving; if none of these appear by 14 months or other development markers lag, ask your pediatrician about a developmental screen.

Does my 1-year-old wave yet? Everyone says something different.

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
At 1 year, many babies are waving, clapping, and gesturing. But the window is wide — anywhere from 9–14 months is normal for these skills to show up.
Does your baby:
- Wave or attempt a 'bye bye'?
- Point at things?
- Make eye contact with you?
- Respond to their name?
If you see any of these, waving is probably close. If none of them, no need to panic — but it's worth asking your pediatrician at the next visit about a developmental check. By 14 months, most babies do at least one.
Trust what you see, and if you wonder, ask. That's what your doctor is there for. 💙
