Your 1-Year-Old Toddler: Week 24 Menu
Hey there, Mama! Can you believe it’s time to schedule your little one’s 18-month check-up? As you prepare for the visit, you might wonder what questions to ask. The three main topics that are likely to come up during your appointment are vaccinations (cue the opinions), sleep (when will you ever catch a break?), and potty training (because, of course!).
Vaccinations
Vaccinations can be a bit of a hot topic these days, especially with recent news about outbreaks of whooping cough and mumps. It’s normal for parents to have strong feelings about immunizations. Just remember to collaborate with your pediatrician to find what feels right for your family, both ethically and medically.
Sleep
Ah, sleep—the elusive treasure of motherhood. While you may be running on fumes, your little one should ideally be getting around 11 to 12 hours of sleep each night. Jealous? Just think about all the things you could get done with that much beauty sleep! But hey, that’s what coffee is for, right? Don’t hesitate to discuss any concerns about sleep routines, naps, or bedtime habits during your visit.
Potty Training
Now, let’s chat about potty training—the ultimate milestone in toddlerhood. Every mom dreams of getting their precious one out of diapers and into those adorable little undies. But hold on! Just because you’re done with diapers doesn’t mean the clean-up stops—many moms are still in the diaper game until their kiddos are five.
