21 month old babies are between 1 year old and 9 months old. Infants under 2 years old may have some stubbornness at this age, and children over 1 year old also need to pay attention to more things. How to raise a 21 month old baby well? Should 21 month old children be allowed to do certain things, such as using toothpaste
Can a 21 month old baby use toothpaste
A 21 month old baby can brush their teeth now, but they need to buy the kind of toothpaste specifically designed for babies. Baby specific toothpaste can usually be swallowed and cannot be used like adults. Prepare a toothbrush, toothpaste, and small cup specifically for babies to cultivate their interest in brushing their teeth. If they are unwilling to brush, their mothers should help them brush every day and gradually cultivate the habit of brushing their teeth. Over time, they will no longer resist.
How to discipline a 21 month old baby
1. Develop good eating habits, let the baby develop their own eating habits, eat at a fixed table, eat at a fixed time, do not watch TV while eating, and do not eat while playing. The baby already knows how to eat with a spoon and occasionally spills some food, it's okay, it will be fine in the future.
2. Limit the number of snacks. Babies at this age already like snacks. Don't let them eat lollipops. Snacks can be mainly biscuits, Steamed Chinese sponge cake, bread, and some yogurt. But be sure to pay attention to the quantity. 2. Don't let the baby eat too many snacks, otherwise the baby won't like to eat.
3. Don't buy a bunch of toys. Babies always want to buy cute toys, but after playing with them a few times, they stop playing. This is not good, and babies should not develop the habit of buying whatever they see. When my baby sees a lot of things, he will point at them and ask to buy. I comforted him that when he grows up and earns money, he can buy them. Then the baby happily left.
4. When a baby is stubborn, it is important to correct them in a timely manner. Sometimes when a baby is stubborn, paranoid, or stubborn, parents should not get used to it. Parents should have their own principles and also correct their baby's habits in a timely manner.
Guide the baby to share. At this stage, the baby may have some 'selfishness'. Parents should guide the baby correctly and cultivate the virtue of being willing to share.
5. Let the baby understand that crying cannot solve the problem. If the baby satisfies their demands by crying, or if the baby likes to cry and threaten parents, parents should let the baby understand that crying cannot solve the problem.
As the child grows up, both parents gradually adapt to this change. The child's behavior, dietary habits, and physical shape are different from before. We hope that friends can be more patient, whether it's brushing their teeth or other things, as long as they are good for the child and meet scientific criteria, they will gradually apply them to the child.
