Many families, without anyone to help take care of their babies, may not have a second child after giving birth. This is because it is difficult to take care of babies during infancy, especially those over one year old, as some babies have already learned to walk and need constant care from parents. So, let's take a look at how to take care of a one year old baby?
1. Eat. Due to the rapid physical development of babies, it is important to pay attention to their diet. Parents should not let their babies eat too much at once in order to prevent them from overeating. But it doesn't mean that babies should eat less, because if they don't eat enough, they will make noise, so they can eat multiple meals a day. Ensure that the baby is fully fed with every meal, and then have at least two meals and three feedings within 24 hours.
2. Take it. A one year old baby is an important period for rapid development of the brain, language, and limbs. Parents may suddenly notice that their baby has learned to speak or walk at an unknown time, and they may come to you to play and ask for your help. Moreover, you will witness many magical moments that will come at one year old. Therefore, when taking care of children, parents must have enough patience and attention, and care more to avoid missing out on many things.
3. Sleep. Scientific research also suggests that babies will enter deep sleep between 10 pm and 2 am when they sleep, and sufficient sleep is necessary to secrete a lot of growth hormone. However, sleeping soundly at other times does not have this effect. Therefore, parents should believe in science and try to ensure that their babies are sound asleep at this stage.
