The toddler has a great ability to accept new information than older children. Research shows, introducing the activities of reading, language and mathematics since the age of the children, will make them easier to capture those lessons later.

- Comfortable beds
Baby still not able to adjust to a big bed. Sleeping position with a large bed that much different from when he curled in the womb. We recommend using a box, basket, or cradle.
- The right temperature
not until he woke up because the room temperature is too cold or hot. When the Mother of using a fan or air conditioner, do not point directly to the baby. Room temperature no more or less than 22 degrees centigrade. If the room temperature feels too hot, replace it with a thinner shirt and baggy.

To change the heartbeat once he heard the Virgin, Mother of the buzzing sound could use a fan, radio voice, and gentle voice of his toys.
- Sleep alone
Give a room for him. Avoid sleeping with your baby, because sleep can be disturbed from the movement of the Mother and Father. Do not just carry her when she starts crying. With Mother even carried her wake.
- Routines
if the current sleep time and activity before sleep is still not regular, not too late to create the routine. Specify what time he had a warm bath, put on your nightgown, playing in bed, listening to Mother telling or singing until she fell asleep.
- Napping enough
do not think that if Mother did not put him to sleep during the day so he would be exhausted and fell asleep at night. On the contrary, too tired to make her sleep restless. It’s okay to reduce the hours of nap, but not to make it continue to wake up.

By the time children grow and develop from infants to toddlers, we often face the dilemma. Their nutritional needs increase, but instead decrease appetite. Obviously this is worrying, because we all know that food is essential for growth and development.
Hard time eating is normal part infancy. At this age, their growth is not as fast as a baby. Added weight also decreased. Plus, they also started to become active. They often can not be silent, let alone to eat. Ways to help them eat can vary but give them a “snack” healthy throughout the day is better than forcing them to eat three times a day on a regular basis with large portions.
Infants and children from ages 1-3 years old require about 1000-1300 calories per day. To meet this need, it’s better if we let them choose their own way of eating. What is important is that we prepare a healthy diet and appropriate for them. They often prefer to eat only one food a lot, and because this is normal, we better have a goal to give them a balanced nutritional meals per-week rather than per-day.
Another way is to give them something to eat at a table and chairs for children, where their feet do not have to rely on a chair hanging like an adult. Maybe sitting at a table and chairs for children are not comfortable for us, but for the small, they would prefer to eat if their feet could hit the floor and they felt they could control their dinner table.
Also, give them food with small portions. At the age of the children, they have not been able to eat normal portions like we are adults. We can also ask his brother, or older friends to eat with them. Toddlers want to imitate the older kids and when he saw a friend or sister to eat, he would be interested in eating well.
They can also be asked to menyicipi at least one or two bites of food. In this way, without forcing, they can try on different types of food so we know what food they prefer. However, make sure the foods that we provide is healthy food, like vegetables and fruits instead of sugary snacks that high can damage their body organ development.
And of course, to ensure adequate nutritional needs of children in times of trouble eat this, complete with giving them two to three glasses of milk a nutritious complete and balanced. With this, we meet nutritional needs but without making them increasingly refusing food because it felt too forced.
