  17. Sleeping Practices Good Sleep Practices- comfort objects, familiar bedding, lighting, noise, physical comfort—cuddles, rocking and patting, where? Sleep positions- positional asphyxia can occur due to the prominence of the occiput (back of the head), as well as the overall lack of neck muscle strength, which forces the head to slouch forward pushing the chin down against the chest (Healthy Childcare IOWA 2008) Transferring sleeping children. Bedding- cross infection (FCCERS) Sleep routines being personalised– Parent partnership Activities for children who are not sleeping http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/children_shealth/3489638/Babies-who-face-away-from-mothers-in-buggies-could-be-left-emotionally-impoverished

  18. Group Exercise • Parent of 18 month old asks that you start to toilet train their child, placing him on the potty every time he has a drink. You don’t feel the child is ready. • How will you manage this?

  19. Scenario • How would you deal with this?

  20. Toilet training • When?

  21. What does the EYFS say? • Development matters statement • Physical Development: Health and Self Care: • 16-26mths- “clearly communicates wet or soiled nappy and pants” • “shows some awareness of bladder and bowel urges” • “shows awareness of what a potty or toilet is used for”

  22. Food/Drink • Mealtimes provide good opportunities for young children to……….

  23. Mealtimes should; • Be individualised routines for each child according to parent wishes, • Allow children to eat at own pace, never rushed • Be a calm environment • Be a social occasion, • promote independence, • Give children choices, likes, dislikes, • link to settling in – invite parents to visit during meal times

  24. Plan two days menu for the following scenarios • For a 8 mths old who is weaning • A two year old with a dairy allergy • A 7 yr old and 5 yr old after school • A 4 yr old who eats organic foods only and a 3 yr old who does not.

  25. Baby-led weaning • Baby-led Weaning is a practical and authoritative guide to introducing solid food, enabling your child to grow up a happy and confident eater. It shows parents why baby-led weaning makes sense and gives them the confidence to trust their baby's natural skills and instincts. With practical tips for getting started and the low-down on what to expect, Baby-led Weaning explodes the myth that babies need to be spoon-fed and shows why self-feeding from the start is the healthiest way for your child to develop. Your baby is allowed to decide how much he wants to eat, how to eat it and to experiment with everything at his own pace. Baby-led weaning is a common-sense, safe, easy and enjoyable approach to feeding your baby. No more purées and weaning spoons, and no more mealtime battles. Simply let your baby feed himself healthy family food. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4QbO7RTOrM
