Breaks between meals in babies after 1 year are approximately 3 hours, by 2 years – 4 hours. Breakfast should be arranged within an hour from the moment of awakening, the last feeding at night – no later than an hour before bedtime. At 1 year old, the child has 5 meals a day, by 2 years – 4 meals a day. 

It’s not just important that you get enough sleep. It’s important that the sleep you get is actually restful, too. For that to happen, your bedroom should be dark, quiet, and cool. Having issues with noisy neighbours? You can resolve this issues with any budget. Low on cashflow? Try a set of earplugs. 

The range of attention in a baby after 1 year is still small, he cannot concentrate on one lesson for a long time. Therefore, it is better to organize reading books, modeling from plasticine, exercises with insert frames and other developmental activities during the day so that they are short (10 minutes) and diversified with other activities.

Walks for a child of this age are two times a day, after breakfast and afternoon tea, lasting 1.5 – 2 hours. If the weather is good, it is important that the baby is actively moving, improving his motor skills and coordination. Walking in the afternoon, especially if it includes outdoor games, is extremely important for a good night’s sleep.

Hygiene procedures are carried out in the morning, before afternoon tea and at night. Washing, washing hands during the day, brushing teeth in the morning and evening – with the help of parents, the baby gradually learns to cope with these activities on his own. Wiping, showering, bathing – these activities are still taking place with the active participation of an adult. Bathing at night becomes part of the evening ritual of going to bed.
