Qs about 16mths olds....

afg

DD just turned 16mths today and I've been wondering a few things...

- how much milk does your toddler drink a day? 

- does your 16mth old still put everything in their mouth? 

- how well does your child listen to you when you say no?

DD will be 16 months next week. 

She's not a big fan of milk and only drinks about 6-8oz a day (we also still BF). 

She doesn't really put everything in her mouth anymore, just stuff she's not supposed to, like my keys, paper, fuzz off the carpet....

When I tell her no, she usually looks at me for a minute and then goes right back to doing what she was doing.  Sometimes she smiles at me as she does it.  Grrr.

DS will be 16 months on Sunday.

 He has approx. 25 ounces of milk over three servings.  

He puts some things in his mouth, not everything.  

 He sometimes listens to "no" and sometimes doesn't.  I posted yesterday, I am having a hard time with him hitting me, even after I tell tell not to...he has selective "no" comprehension.

DD just turned 16mths today and I've been wondering a few things...

- how much milk does your toddler drink a day? about 18oz

- does your 16mth old still put everything in their mouth? No, but she wasn't much for doing that ever.  I just have to watch her with crayons.

- how well does your child listen to you when you say no? It depends on my tone.  If I am all business she is pretty good at listening but then she will cry afterwards.  I do not yell at all or even raise my voice but I am stern.  She listens but it upsets her, however if I just say NO she ignores me.

- how much milk does your toddler drink a day? 16 oz, varies a lot

- does your 16mth old still put everything in their mouth? no, but when he is playing with something he's never seen before, he usually gives it an exploratory chomp

- how well does your child listen to you when you say no? I usually follow "no" with redirection; he understands what I'm saying, but like any toddler, his impulse control is pretty much non-existent.

about 3 cups a day

not always but it still happens a lot

uh, not always. It took a while this morning. She thinks I'm playing around.

- how much milk does your toddler drink a day? 14-16oz. DD isn't a big fan of milk.

- does your 16mth old still put everything in their mouth? Not really. She just likes to touch everything.

- how well does your child listen to you when you say no? She listens sometimes. A lot of the time she will look at me and smile and keep at what she is not suppose to be doing. I try to redirect her a lot.
