Feeding
Don’t forget hydration! Your child may not take to water easily but do be persistent. He/ she is probably still dependent on the bottle or sippy cup but you may now fill it with low-fat (2%) instead of whole milk.
Sleep
At this age, children sleep for about 12 to 14 hours a day, usually taking only one afternoon nap.
Ideal toys for this age
• Stacking and sorting toys
• Role-play toys e.g. toy kitchen, doll house, tool bench
• Plush toys
• Basic counting, alphabet and shape-matching toys
Useful tips
Your child is becoming increasingly mobile and independent. This is a perfect time to get your parents or in-laws to help while you have a well-deserved date with your partner!
