2 to 2½ Years
By 2 ½ years old your toddler will be able to do things by themselves.
If your child is not meeting the milestones or has lost skills they once had, talk to your child’s doctor.
Teach your child to make healthy choices by allowing them to pick from 2 healthy food options. It is okay if your toddler chooses to not eat. Make the offer again at the next scheduled meal or snack time.
Routine is especially important around this age. Here is an example of a sleep and eating schedule:
3-5 oz per day
1-1½ cups per day
1-1½ cups per day
2-2½ cups per day
2-4 oz per day
