Month 23 news
Doctor or firefighter? By now your toddler may well love pretending to be a little adult. Toy phones and dressing up outfits can help them understand both the world and the different people around them. As they begin to speak a little more, you may also want to encourage them with singing and musical instruments too. Earplugs are optional! |

The Expert View
Tummy troubles? As solid foods are introduced in to your baby's diet, constipation can be quite a common side effect. Obvious signs to look for include if your little one has a poo less than twice a week, or if it is often small and hard. If it's minor, there is plenty you can do to help – from warm baths to tummy massage. Find out more with our constipation checklist. If your baby is in pain or cries when passing a poo, talk to your GP or health visitor. |

But whilst protein needs are proportionally higher for children than adults, there is such a thing as having too much – which may increase the risk of being overweight in later life. Find out more with our simple guide. |

Tip: Fat isn't necessarily bad...
Believe it or not, toddlers generally require full fat varieties of products such as cheese or yogurts in order to get all the energy and vitamins they need. It also provides essential fatty acids that the body can't make itself. |

Tip: Your little bookworm
By now your little one may have a favourite book. But if you'd like to expand their horizons and find more engaging stories, many libraries have reading clubs for toddlers. These can be a great time for them to socialise and for you both to bond. |
