2 years Nutrition Offer 3 meals and 2-3 snacks a day. Most toddlers do not have huge appetites and may eat only 1-2 good meals; your job is to offer only healthy choices so that no matter what your child eats, you will both be successful. Most children can have skim or 1% milk (12-16 ounces daily) and can be encouraged to increase daily water and fiber intake. Remember that your child will mimic your eating habits. Offer what you prepare for everyone else. Even though food jags are common (when a child wants to eat only one food for a period of time), you'll want to avoid becoming a "short-order cook" and allowing mealtime to become a battleground. Quietly remove and dispose of food not eaten at a meal. Toothbrushing should take place twice daily with a soft toothbrush and minimal toothpaste. Since toddlers are just developing fine-motor skills, it is recommended that you follow up your child's brushing until he is school-aged. Wellness Visits Most children sleep 10-12 hours a night and may take a 1-2 hour nap. It is not uncommon for bedtime resistance to develop, as going to bed means separation from a parent or from playtime. Establish gentle but firm bedtime routines, and follow the same steps if you are away from home. It is sometimes helpful to mention something that will happen the next day to reassure your child that you will see him soon (for example, "I'll see you when the sun comes up again"). If your child climbs out of his crib, place the mattress on the floor and start looking for the bigger bed. Falls are a big risk at this age. Also, if you are expecting another child, making the move to a regular bed 2-3 months prior to the new sibling's arrival will help your toddler adjust. He will see the new bed as a "right of passage" rather than having his crib taken by the new baby. Sleep The average age of toilet training is 2 ½-3, but go by your child's signs of readiness. These include, 1) awareness of the need to urinate or have a bowel movement (demonstrated by facial expression, telling you, or by hiding); 2) ability to stay dry for 2-3 hours; 3) dislike of wet or soiled diapers (may take them off); and, 4) desire to use the toilet chair and imitate you. Explain the process in simple, relaxed terms, and decrease attention to the diapering process. Believe it or not, most children almost train themselves when the time is right. Elimination Minnesota law requires all children to be in appropriately sized, federally approved car restraints until age 4 and 40 pounds. A toddler's incredible speed and ambition can lead to dangerous falls, haste into streets, parking lots, and onto unsafe playground equipment. Accidental ingestions are one of the biggest safety hazards of this age. Keep the Poison Control (800-222-1222) number handy. Remember that children imitate parents, so avoid taking medications in front of your child. Coins are never toys or entertainment. Children choke on these even under strict supervision. Keep purses and piggy banks out of sight. Burns occur quickly. Evaluate all potentially hot items (water, candles, matches, curling/clothes irons, coffee cups, pots/pans) for accessibility. Animals are very attractive at this age, and most children do not have fear. Teach your child to approach all animals (even your own) with caution. If you have a gun, lock it out of site and lock the ammunition separately. If your child spends time away from home (friend's home, daycare, grandparents' home, etc.), ask to see if guns are accessible. Shaken Baby Syndrome is preventable by taking breaks before you are desperate. Discuss this with your child's caregivers, too, and make sure everyone has the Crisis Connection phone number available (612-379-6363) Safety The best way to decrease illness in the family is to wash your child's hands often and teach him to do this for himself. Change household towels often. Illness This is a good age to assign simple tasks to your child, as this will heighten his sense of accomplishment and belonging (at an age when he'll actually enjoy having a household chore!). Continue to keep consistent limits while encouraging exploration of his world beyond you. We look forward to seeing your child again at age THREE. Interest in "school" learning (counting, colors, ABC's, more detailed drawing) is usually more evident by then. Please try to be at least 10 minutes early for all scheduled well-child visits.

6 months Nutrition Most babies still nurse 4-6 times a day or take 20-36 ounces of iron-fortified formula. The amount of milk will decrease as solids increase. Babies can have a variety of pureed foods and can slowly advance to thicker foods. We recommend giving only one new food at a time (with 3-5 days between starting new foods) to make sure your baby tolerates it. This is the age when infants begin to use high chairs at mealtimes. Chewing will begin whether or not your baby has teeth. Wellness Visits Daily tooth care begins with eruption of the first tooth. Front teeth can be cleaned with water on a washcloth. Do not leave your baby with a propped bottle. This enhances tooth decay and could cause choking. If the majority of your baby's fluid intake is from nursing, ready-to-feed formula, or formula prepared with well water or bottled water, a fluoride supplement may now be recommended. Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel (making it more resistant to tooth decay) and reduces cavities by up to 50%. Oral Health Stools will vary in color, consistency and odor with each new food. Elimination Babies average 10-12 hours at night and 2-3 naps a day. This is a common age for true night waking to begin and is usually related to the infant's close attachment to the parents. It is highly recommended that you allow your child to fall asleep and settle back to sleep (if he awakens) on his own, without much coaxing on your part. He usually does not need to be fed. See our handout on "Common Childhood Sleep Concerns" if you are having difficulty. Sleep BABYPROOF YOUR HOUSE!! Environmental control means making your home a safe place for your baby to move about and explore. Put away everything you do not want your baby to snatch, break, use to pull up with, or hurt himself with. Some parents like to keep one room as an adult room. Plants — The leaves of many houseplants are unsafe if eaten, and dirt is very attractive to small children. Put all plants out of reach. Electric hazards — Outlets should be covered or blocked with safety plugs. Tape cords to walls or tables or hide them under rugs. Stairways — Prevent falls with safety gates. Cleaning solutions, chemicals — Store in high cabinets or lock away. Cupboards — Use safety locks or latches. Some parents like to keep one lower cupboard unlatched (filled with plastic bowls, etc.) that the baby may explore. All other kitchen utensils, supplies, and food are potential hazards. Again, infant walkers are responsible for far too many injuries in this age group. You'll save yourself unnecessary anxiety by not using them. Apply sunscreen (PABA-free, SPF 30+) on your baby for any sun exposure. Life-preservers — Minnesota State Law requires all children under the age of 10 to wear a life-jacket when on any private boat. Find one that fits well. Shaken Baby Syndrome is preventable. If you feel frustrated with your baby's crying, put him in a safe place and take a break. Call a friend, relative, or the Parent Warmline (612-813-6336). If you are at the end of your rope and cannot reach anyone to relieve you, call Crisis Connection (612-379-6363) or Minneapolis Crisis Nursery (763-591-0100). Safety Please keep an updated record of your child's vaccines at your home (for use in an emergency, to complete future school/daycare/camp/sports forms or to aid record transfers). We recommend the next well-child visit at NINE MONTHS to examine your baby and discuss growth, feeding, and development. Usually by that time babies enjoy more social games (peek-a-boo, pat-a-cake), are crawling and possibly pulling up on furniture. They also tend to have increased stranger or separation anxiety! Please try to be at least 10 minutes early for all scheduled well-child visits. Make your baby's world a safe one.

2 weeks Nutrition Offer breast milk or formula only. Most babies will nurse every 2 to 4 hours, or take 18 to 24 ounces of prepared formula per day. No solid foods are recommended at this time. Feedings usually take 20-30 minutes. After a brief period of weight loss, your baby will begin to gain weight steadily (approximately one ounce per day). Your baby's appetite may vary, just as yours does, and will depend on many factors (including growth rate and activity level). The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that breastfeeding babies (and any baby taking less than 17 ounces of formula per day) start a daily over-the-counter liquid multi-vitamin containing at least 200 I.U. (units) of Vitamin D per dose. There are several commercial brands available. Also, if you have well water that you will be using at home, we recommend having it tested for fluoride content. Please ask us for information on testing. A fluoride supplement, if necessary, begins at 6 months. Wellness Visits Sleep patterns vary greatly among infants. Most sleep 12-20 hours a day in 3-5 hour stretches. It is recommended to place infants on their backs for sleep. Sleep Stool frequency varies from one every feeding, to once a week or less. Bottle-fed infants' stools are usually soft, green or brown. Nursing infants have frequent, loose, watery, yellow stools. Elimination PLEASE MAKE EVERY RIDE A SAFE RIDE! Use an approved infant car seat, facing backward in the center back seat of the car until your infant is 20 pounds and 1 year of age. Check your hot water heater to be sure the water temperature is no hotter than 120 degrees F. Always be near your baby while she is in the bathtub. Never attach a pacifier around your baby's neck. To warm refrigerated breast milk or newly-made formula, place the bag or bottle in a bowl of warm water. If you warm formula in a microwave oven, always test the temperature of the liquid before feeding your infant. Containers may remain cool while the liquid becomes dangerously hot. Serious burns have resulted. If you feel your baby is crying a lot (not related to illness) and you are at your wit's end, put your baby in a safe place and take a break. Call a relative, friend, or the Parent Warmline (612-813-6336). If your frustration is increasing, call Crisis Connection (612-379-6363) or Minneapolis Crisis Nursery (763-591-0100). Two-week-old babies can accidentally flip themselves over while on a flat surface or flip out of an infant seat. To guard against falls, never leave your baby unattended while on a changing table, sofa, etc. If your baby is in an infant seat, place the seat on the floor and secure the safety strap. Safety Welcoming an infant into your life is considered one of life's major stresses! Whether this baby is your first or fifth, the next few weeks will be a time of adjustment. We encourage you to recognize this and give yourself the time, rest, and support needed to deal with the unexpected changes. Siblings need to hold, touch, and feel close to the baby. Some siblings get overly excited and helpful, but can also feel displaced and rejected. The way in which they respond will depend on their temperaments. Negative behaviors are often directed toward mom or dad because they are the ones who are holding the new baby, saying "just a minute" or "don't do that!" and are also more tired than usual. It's common to see more sibling temper tantrums, clingy behaviors, sleep disturbances and toileting regressions. It helps to talk openly about how the older child feels, and to find some uninterrupted "special time" daily to spend alone with him or her. It is also important that you continue to maintain your limits. Pets often experience adjustment time, too! Family Adjustments If you feel your baby is ill (is more irritable or lethargic than usual, is not eating as much as usual, is coughing more than usual, etc.) or has a temperature over 100.4 degrees (always taken rectally at this age), call us right away. Your baby's next health care visit is at age TWO MONTHS. By that time she will probably be smiling, cooing, and much more interested in her environment. We ask that you review the printed information about the Diphtheria-Tetanus-acellular Pertussis (DTaP), Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib), Polio (IPV), Pneumococcal Conjugate (PCV7), Hepatitis B (HBV) and oral Rotavirus vaccinations.

4 years Nutrition Food intake and preferences may vary from day to day, but continue to offer your child 3 meals and 2-3 snacks a day of healthy foods. Your child will eat when he is hungry and will not lose weight from periodically refusing to eat. Limit high fat or low nutrient foods and beverages (candy, chips, pop); it is often less tempting to just avoid having them in the house at all except for special treats. Milk is still recommended (about 2 cups a day), but yogurt and calcium-fortified orange juice are appropriate substitutes for children who do not care for milk. Mealtime is often a very active, sometimes giddy, time of day. Encourage control but also happy family time, as this may be the only time all family members are together at one time. This is a good age to enlist the help of children for mealtime "jobs" and in safe help with food preparation. Keep a copy of the USDA Food Pyramid on your refrigerator so you can help your child learn the value of nutritious eating. You are still your child's primary tooth brusher. Brush at least twice a day with a small amount of toothpaste. Dental visits are recommended every 6 months. Wellness Visits Most children sleep 8-12 hours a night. Naps sometimes become "rest periods" at this age but still allow both the child and caregiver to have a break. Try to make bedtime pleasant and consistent (even if an older sibling has a later bedtime). Sleep Remember that all children have accidents, even after successful toilet training. Help your child learn to clean up after himself and listen more closely to his own body's signals. Nighttime wetting may take longer to master, as this is a developmental (versus behavioral) skill and the timing can also be inherited. Try to remain positive and not focus on the issue. It should resolve with time. If your child reaches 7-8 years of age or becomes bothered by it, consult your health care provider. Elimination Minnesota law requires all children to be in appropriately sized, federally approved car restraints until they are age 4 and 40 pounds. After that, your child will continue be safer in a booster (now approved up to 80+ pounds) and all children under 12 should ride in the back seat. Make sure the seatbelt fits properly, and teach by your own good example. Discuss "good" and "bad" touch and appropriate contact with strangers. Use sunscreen (at least SPF 15) during all outdoor daytime activity. Teach respect and caution around all animals (even your own). If you have a gun, lock it out of sight and lock the ammunition separately. Enforce helmets (without exception) for biking, scooters, skateboards, and in-line skating. Never leave your child unattended near water, even if he can swim. Wear life vests when boating (it's a Minnesota law) or in deep water. Continue to update your childproofing. Choking, burns, injuries, and poisonings still occur at alarming rates at this age. Keep all medications and toxic household products in a locked cabinet and make sure all have working safety caps. We also recommend that you keep the Poison Control Center (800-222-1222) phone number handy next to all of your home phones and programmed into your cell phone. Remember that children imitate parents, so avoid taking medications in front of your child. Continue to monitor your child's exposure to second-hand smoke. Safety Children at this age are often eager to please and are very proud of their knowledge and skills. They enjoy having parents (and occasionally siblings) participate in games and school preparation challenges (counting, ABC's, songs, crafts). Most parents also start to realize that children become more independent and sometimes choose friends over family for certain activities! Encourage more of that independence by having your child practice routine self-care skills (choosing clothes, getting dressed, washing the face, brushing teeth and hair). Discipline can become more of an issue, with many children openly disobeying rules. Teach acceptable behavior by setting limits and dealing with misbehavior promptly and fairly. Daily and weekly family time helps cohesiveness and communication. We look forward to seeing your child again at age FIVE, the infamous pre-kindergarten visit. The DTaP, Polio, MMR, and Varicella (Chicken Pox) vaccine boosters will be due, so prepare your child the way you think is best.

14, 15 years (female) Nutrition Try to eat 3 healthy meals a day. Your performance in school and in other extra activities will respond to what you put into your body (good or bad). You need 3-4 foods a day high in calcium because your bones are at their lifelong peak of strengthening. Milk, yogurt, or calcium-fortified orange juice are options. Also, 2-3 iron-rich foods (iron-fortified cereal, meat, eggs, or green leafy vegetables) a day are recommended to support your blood. And don't forget the fiber — it is known to prevent illnesses such as cancer and diseases of the stomach. While chips, fries, pop, and donuts taste great, this "junk" food can cheat your body out of what it really needs, and as your growth slows, these foods can start putting on excess weight. Try to limit them for special occasions. Also, try not to get into eating habits that will be tough to break later on, such as eating on the run or in front of the TV. Make a point to eat with your family at least once a day; as your life gets busier this may be the only time you actually see each other some days! If you are unhappy with your appearance or performance, take a good look at your eating and see what you could change. If you eat well, drink plenty of water, and exercise regularly, your body will look, grow and perform at its' best. If you are concerned about your size, please talk to your health care provider. Wellness Visits If you want your teeth and gums to be healthy your entire lifetime, take care of them now. Brush well 2-3 times a day and see your dentist 2 times a year. Teeth If you find that you need more sleep than you are getting, try to go to bed earlier instead of sleeping in; getting up late can alter your normal body rhythm and make you even more tired during the day and sleepless at night. Also, try not to save all of your "think time" for bedtime — it often delays falling asleep. Sleep Always wear your seatbelt in the car and your helmet when biking or in- line skating. We see permanent, life-changing injuries resulting from simple accidents, and NO ONE thought it would happen to them. Wear sunscreen if you are outside. A great tan is not worth cancer. Wear your life jacket if boating or near deep water, even if you swim well. Take your body seriously. Make the decision now not to smoke, take drugs, drink alcohol, or have sex. Practice what you would say if someone pressured you. It only takes one mistake to change your life forever. If you have questions about sex, HIV or AIDS, pregnancy, drugs, alcohol, or tobacco, please ask your mom, dad, or doctor or nurse practitioner. Introduce your friends to your family, negotiate your curfew times reasonably, and expect that your parents will want to know where you are. If you are in sports, make sure the playing areas are kept up well, and all protective equipment fits and is in good shape. Never share head gear. Remember that driving is a privilege to be taken seriously. Practice. And in case you didn't know, Minnesota State Law prohibits permit holders from using a cell phone while driving. Safety Your friends and school activities are important, but try to do a "family" event at least weekly, and sit and talk with your mom or dad a little every day. You may not always agree on things (such as grades, household jobs, curfew, or friends) but talking about your differences helps you understand each other better. You may find that you have special interests in school or in the community, and are starting to think about what you may be interested in doing in the future. Family & School Most girls have experienced the body changes of "puberty" by now (breast development, armpit and pubic hair, body odor, and acne). Periods usually start between the ages of 10-16, and girls usually grow 2-3 more inches after that. In regards to acne, the best prevention and treatment is staying healthy on the inside (eating well, drinking water, getting sleep and exercise). Gently wash your face no more than 2 times a day and limit your make-up. Call us if you have concerns. Boys usually start puberty by ages 12-14 and continue to have body changes from ages 14-19. Their growth spurt is at ages 13-16 so expect them to start growing taller than the girls soon. Body changes can make people excited, nervous, or embarrassed, so respect other people's privacy. If you have any questions about your health, body changes or sexuality, please ask your mom or dad or your health care provider here. We look forward to seeing you again for a check-up next year!
