These are some things to take in consideration with child. Note that my son is still a toddler so most of this advice is for < 2 year old kids.
Development needs
dedicate at least one hour/day focused on Joanico development Rotate across the different need areas (physical, emotional, social, cognitive, language) Social
go to park, meet other kids - 3 times/week quarta em casa dos meus pais sexta - os meus pais passeiam play with him - every day Language
Read to them every night - different language speak in english - 3 times/week Cognitive
Play puzzle of fitting pieces - every day Motor skill:
walk with him - every day roll ball to him - every day Emotional:
label emotions - every time praise for hard work - every time Fuel (nutrition and hydration)
Hydratation
Will start filling his bottle in the morning - we need to find a bottle he can drink on his own Eating
He can take between three quarters to one cup of food three to four times a day, plus one to two snacks between meals. he has a portion of animal foods (milk, dairy, eggs, meat, fish and poultry) each day, plus legumes (like chickpeas, lentils or peas) – or nuts, and orange or green vegetables and fruits. Add a little oil or fat to her food for energy.
Backups - frozen baby food
Routine
7-8 - wake up
12:00 - lunch
13:00 - nap
15:00 - snack
19:00 - dinner
21:30 - bed
Sleep
Parents shifts
One thing that we felt helpful was to divide the nights between me and my wife (on who takes our son to bed and who is on call during the night). On the nights that you are not on call you can rest easily (even moving to a different room if you have it) This helps stay sane vs both being on call every night. Tips
light: use low kelvin light temperature (red/orange) 11–14 hours of sleep a day Health
Vaccination → put in the calendar Family doctor → books and puts in the calendar First dentist should be after 1 year
