3、 Baby's daily life situation
1. Baby's sleep
Babies in this age group sleep for 10-11 hours at night, with an additional 1-2 hours of sleep twice a day. There are individual differences in the sleep time of each baby. If a baby has too little sleep time, it is important to provide a good sleeping environment to help improve their sleep condition. Babies with poor sleep can also experience a decrease in appetite.
2. Baby wearing shoes
At this stage, some babies have already started walking, so when buying shoes, it is advisable to buy larger ones to avoid affecting the normal growth and development of the baby's feet. Shoes should be of moderate size when buying in summer. Because shoes in summer are also easier to observe, you can take a closer look at how your baby looks when they wear them, and feel their shoes. Only when they are just right can you make a purchase. When buying shoes in winter, it's better to insert your hand into the shoes your baby is wearing from the heel, leaving a small finger space.
3. Baby dressing
Babies in this age group grow too fast and their clothes become outdated quickly, so it is necessary to purchase a new batch of clothes suitable for babies to wear. Be careful not to wear too big clothes for your child, and do not wear too many clothes for your baby. When dressing babies, it is important to choose lightweight fabrics to facilitate their movement. Clothes should be washed and changed frequently.
4. Baby excretion
After weaning and eating, babies only have one or two bowel movements. At this time, parents should pay more attention to the training of bowel movements to help children develop good bowel habits. At this stage, the baby's nervous system has not fully matured yet. You can gradually train the baby to urinate. When the baby is willing to urinate at a certain time, they can start not using diapers, or use them only when sleeping at night.
This article introduces some specific abilities and indicators that a 1.5-year-old baby should possess. You can check your baby to see if their development is normal or not, so as to better understand your child. If their development is not normal, you can take timely measures.
