Your 1-Year-Old Toddler: Week 14 Menu
Hey there, fellow parent! Can you believe your little one is nearing the end of their first year? At this stage, your toddler is starting to recognize and name body parts, and they’ll likely begin to notice the differences between their body and yours. It’s an exciting time filled with discovery!
Make sure you’re brushing your toddler’s teeth at least twice a day with a small amount of fluoridated toothpaste. If your little one resists, stay calm and firm—brushing is a must! Wrapping them in a towel can help keep their arms in check while you tackle those tiny teeth. Many experts suggest that a dental visit by their first birthday is a good idea.
Is your child displaying some biting behavior? Often, when 15-month-olds bite, it’s because they’re trying to express feelings that they can’t yet articulate, like fear or overstimulation. Focus first on the child who got bitten to ensure they’re alright. Then, calmly say, “No biting,” and redirect your little one. Remember, sometimes biting happens when they’re excited or teething. Understanding the triggers can help you prevent future incidents.
Your baby is transforming into a toddler right before your eyes! Those chubby little legs are becoming leaner as their walking skills improve. Their adorable rounded belly will stick around until their core muscles develop, so enjoy those cuddles while they last!
Tip:
Letting your child choose their toothpaste or picking out a fun toothbrush with their favorite character can make brushing much easier and more enjoyable.
