Baby Basics
Feeding
By age two, growth is slowing a bit so expect them to eat 2-3 meals and a couple of snacks.
Appetites and preferences may vary. They may not eat much one day, and clear their plates the next. If they refuse something during one visit, try it again another time.
Sleep
By age 1, babies are still spending around 11 hours sleeping with one 1-3 hour nap. Some kiddos still prefer two shorter naps, and that’s ok!
1 year old’s also graduate from Safe Sleep ABCs, and can now use a small blanket or take a stuffed toy to bed with them. But always check with mom or dad before assuming it’s ok!
Potty Time
Maybe, but maybe not. Potty training is really at the pace of each child. Typically, you will see kiddos master this task between 2 – 3.5 years old.
If a toddler is spending lots of time at your house, you may want to have a training toilet seat cover. That with the fold flat stool from your earlier Stache will let them practice while away from home.
