Month 24 news
Wow! It's almost time to add an extra candle to the cake! It seems like only yesterday they were 1, doesn't it? Your little one will be growing in confidence all the time and now may even be capable of running, throwing, and even simple 4 word sentences. Phew!
The Expert View
Your little one's motor skills are now motoring along! Encourage them to refine them even more by providing lots of crayons for scribbling, showing your toddler how to fasten buttons and encouraging them to use a fork or spoon at mealtimes.
Potty training can be a testing time for everyone, but if your toddler has an accident, encourage them to use the potty next time rather than disciplining them for getting it wrong. Offering your toddler a small reward, such as a sticker, every time they use their potty can also help.
Introducing bath time games can develop your toddler's mathematical skills. Start off by pouring water from one container to another, which can help build your little one's sense of space and volume. Clever!
Iron plays an important role in the brain, in particular helping with the development of cognitive functions. As your toddler is learning so much at this stage, it's especially useful. Help them get enough iron with foods such as red meat, fortified milk, beans, pulses and dark leafy greens.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The best way to feed a baby is to breastfeed, as breast milk provides the ideal balanced diet and protection against illness for your baby and also many non-nutritional benefits for both baby and mother. We recommend that you speak to your healthcare professional when deciding on your choice of feeding your baby. Professional guidance should also be sought on the preparation for and maintenance of breastfeeding. If you do choose to breastfeed, it's important to eat a healthy, balanced diet. Infant formula is intended to replace breast milk when mothers choose not to breastfeed or if for some reason they are unable to do so. A decision not to breastfeed, or to introduce partial bottle-feeding, will reduce the supply of breast milk. If for any reason you choose not to breastfeed, do remember that such a decision can be difficult to reverse. Using infant formula also has social and financial implications which must be considered. Infant formula should always be prepared, used and stored as instructed on the label, in order to avoid risks to a baby's health. SMA® PRO Toddler Milk and SMA® PRO Growing Up Milk are suitable for young children from 1-3 years, as part of a healthy balanced diet and these are not a breast milk substitute. SMA® Organic Growing Up Milk is suitable for young children from the 12th month, as part of a healthy balanced diet and it is not a breast milk substitute.
