Your little one has officially entered the toddler stage, and wow, what a transformation these last few months have brought! The once sleepy baby who loved being held is now a lively toddler, likely bursting with energy and curiosity. At this age, many toddlers are on the move—walking (or almost there), bending to pick up toys, drinking from a cup, and even crawling up stairs. If you haven’t done so yet, now’s the perfect time to install baby gates for safety!
Developmental Highlights for Your 15-Month-Old
Sleep Patterns: Toddlers typically need between 11 to 14 hours of sleep each day, including naps. Most 15-month-olds will take two naps, each lasting about one to two hours.
Nutrition Needs: Aim for three servings of vegetables daily, with each serving being about 1 to 2 tablespoons. Good options include carrots, squash, cauliflower, and sweet potatoes, even if they don’t always eat them!
Did you know that around this age, many toddlers begin engaging in pretend play? This imaginative playing is crucial for their development.
