Are you trying to plan to have a baby? Or are you already the mother of a toddler? I was, twice, and both times I remember wishing that there was some quick information that would help me get through the various crises that arose. Whether it is illness, breastfeeding, naptime or eating, toddlers are tough and it is even harder because each one is different!
Here are a few tips to take care of your toddler:
1. When to take your toddler to the doctor - See a doctor as soon as you can if your toddler gets an object lodged in his nose, ear, or mouth. Never try to remove objects yourself; if your toddler gets a burn larger than a 50p piece, particularly if the skin is blistering (this includes a sunburn); has a fever that lasts for five days or longer, or is accompanied by other symptoms, such as a rash or crying. Most toddlers recover quickly from fever, but if his symptoms worsen, call the doctor again, as it may be a sign of a serious illness or infection; See your doctor if your toddler has to flare his nostrils to breathe, cries persistently, or if his cry sounds abnormal and high-pitched; is not drinking, and/or you are concerned that he is dehydrated.
2. When should you start potty training your toddler? There's no standard age at which a child is ready to start using the potty. But most children gain the skills they need to start training when they are between 18 months and three years old. Girls tend to be ready a few months earlier than boys. You don't have to wait until your child's achieved everything before you start training. It's more about spotting a general trend toward independence and an understanding of what it means to go to the toilet like a grown-up. Physical signs that indicate she might be ready is when they can wake up from a nap or a night of sleep with a dry diaper.
3. How much sleep does my toddler need? Your baby is officially a toddler - but she still needs as much sleep as she did when she was younger. Until her second birthday, your child should get between 13 hours and 14 hours of sleep a day, 11 of those hours at night.
No matter if you are a first time mom or are thinking of becoming a mom again, these tips will be helpful!
