I am constantly worried that my 13 month old daughter is not eating the right foods and I worry she is not eating enough. Also, How much milk and plain water should she have each day? Can you provide a detailed sample menu,or a link to one, so I can go from that? She was born 4 weeks early so should we add an extra month on to any developmental expectations? She isn't walking yet but she will stand and hold on to furniture. |

Perhaps a couple of good books on toddler care and health would be useful. Don't get too many; they won't all agree, and you could just feel confused. Dr. Spock "raised" a couple of generations of children. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0671537628/103-8674283-2599804?v=glance |

Being born 4 weeks early should not be a concern at this stage. When assessing growth,consideration is given for prematurity up until One year of age,but not afterwards. Developmentally, 'Cruising' the furniture at this stage, but not walking independantly is within normal ranges. She may not decide to walk alone until she feels very confident. Don't try to rush her. Play games while she is standing holding on, for example claping hands to encourage her to let go for short periods. Speech: She should be vocalising, but not necessarily be forming clear words. Making lots of different noises is like physio for the oral muscles,getting them ready for speech. Some infants will be saying Mama,Dada etc. Understanding:Wheres your hair? Wheres your toes etc should recieve pointing answers. Lots of Nursery rhymes will help speech develop. She will get to know them, and in a few months try to add in repetitive words. Diet. Arough guide of 20ozs(1pint) of milk in 24hrs. This to include what you add to her food. Lots of water. If she is having lots of wet nappis, then she is getting enough fluid. Toddlers tend to 'graze'. They should eat little and often. You'll find they can go a few days seemingly not eating very much,then a few where they have a great appetite! Again try not to worry,esp if she is growing well. |
