- Understands simple questions

Feeding
Offer three meals and two or three healthy snacks a day, eating together as a family when you can. The AAP suggests about 2 to 3 cups (16 to 24 oz) of milk a day for toddlers, and no juice is needed. Keep offering new foods: it can take many tries before a child accepts one.
Sleep
Toddlers usually need 11 to 14 hours of sleep in 24 hours, including one nap. A regular bedtime and a calm routine help.
Your checklist this month
- Sing songs and rhymes with actions.
- Let your toddler help with simple tasks.
- Keep screens to a minimum.
