Milestones

Sleep
Sleep patterns vary widely. Consistent bedtime routines help even when schedules shift.
Feeding
Toddler appetites wobble day to day. Regular meal and snack times with no pressure work best.
Health & Wellness
Regular well-baby checks, safe sleep practices, and childproofing stay important as mobility grows.
Partner & Family Support
Share night feeds, nappy changes, or a short walk so the primary caregiver can rest.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your paediatrician for fever in a young baby, fewer wet nappies, breathing difficulty, persistent vomiting, or if something feels wrong to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Sleep varies enormously in the first year. Short cycles, cluster feeding nights, and growth spurts all shake things up. Track overall mood, feeding, and wet nappies — and ask your doctor if you are worried.
