How much sleep is normal for a 2 year and 5 month old baby?

If there is a baby at home, parents have a lot to worry about. When the baby reaches two years and five months old, parents should pay attention to whether the baby's height and weight are normal, pay attention to whether the child's diet is normal, be alert to some digestive tract diseases in the child, and also pay attention to whether the child's sleep is normal. Children of this age must get enough sleep, so how long should children of this age sleep?

2 years and 5 months old baby sleep time:

At this time, the daily sleep time is about 18 hours. At this time, you must insist on supplementing your child with vitamin AD to promote calcium absorption, which helps sleep. At the same time, letting your child get more sun can also supplement your child with milk calcium.

Growth indicators:

Boys: weight 10.4-16.6kg, height 84.5-97.9cm, head circumference 48.2cm, chest circumference 49.4cm.

Girls: weight 9.8-16.2kg, height 82.9-96.9cm, head circumference 47.1cm, chest circumference 48.2cm.

Capability indicators:

Languages:

1. Use prepositions and adjectives. Babies begin to use prepositions in sentences. Commonly used ones are: inside, above, below, outside, in front of, and behind.

2. Understand the units of items. If your baby suddenly says one day: "Mom, give me a cookie" or "Give me two apples", then it reflects not only the baby's understanding of numbers, but also his understanding of the "units" of objects. But most 2-and-a-half-year-old babies still say "one" cookie instead of "a piece" of cookie.

Athletic ability:

1. The baby may start running, and at a fairly fast speed.

2. When running, if you encounter an obstacle, you can stop in time, or slow down and go around it and continue running.

Focus on baby 2 years and 5 months

Learn to count:

Around 2 and a half years old is the critical period for the development of baby's calculation ability. Counting is to make the baby familiar with the sequence of numbers, which is the basis for the formation of number concepts. However, when teaching babies to count, they refuse to cooperate. Mom and dad have to use clever methods to make their babies feel fun and interesting.

Tips for teaching your baby to count:

1. When your baby cannot speak yet, you can do baby exercises, count the steps when going upstairs, and recite them to him.

2. Teach your baby to count with his hands and mouth: Before learning to count with his hands and mouth, he needs to build some pre-numerical concepts through games, such as classifying objects, distinguishing between big and small, and lining them up in order.

3. The effect of physical training is significant. The baby's abstract thinking ability has not yet been fully established, so it is impossible for him to be interested in boring and simple preaching. Seize every available opportunity to train your baby with physical exercises.

My baby is over 2 years old. He learns to recognize objects very quickly, but he can’t learn to count. What should I do?

When going up the stairs, read the number of steps one by one. The ten-step ladder is just from 1 to 10. Read it to him often. He will recognize it after repeating it many times. Check on him the next day to see if he remembers it. If he doesn't remember it, repeat it a few more times to reinforce it. He will recognize it on the third day. Chant it as if you were singing while taking a bath, and also chant it while getting dressed. Don't be impatient, otherwise your baby will have a rebellious attitude towards learning.
