Every mother knows that the most important thing in the development of her baby is the correct daily routine and a balanced diet. After all, in order for a child to grow up he althy and active, it is necessary to competently approach not only his physical development, but also psychological development. All mothers remember how their babies were just born, how for the first time they held this bundle of happiness in their arms and could not get enough of the little face of the baby.

Most of a person's psychological problems come from childhood. Therefore, parents must properly approach the upbringing and development of their crumbs. Especially if it concerns the regimen and diet of a child of 10 months. For the first few months of life, the baby sleeps and eats a lot, but after the ninth month, the most fertile period of development begins. The child begins to actively explore the world around him, learn new things and get used to a different diet. Therefore, for many parents, the period ends at this moment."sleepless nights", but the period "my baby is a fidget" begins. Well, let's get acquainted with the development and nutrition of a child at 10 months.

10:00 - 10:30 - morning exercises.

10:30 - 11:00 - feeding.

21:30 - 22:00 - feeding.

22:00 - 22:30 - reading fairy tales, getting ready for bed.

22:30 - 7:00 - night sleep.

This is what the daily routine and nutrition of a 10-month-old baby looks like. But this is only an approximate plan, because for each baby the regimen should be built individually. That is why we will consider each item of the diet separately.

Sleep

Sleep for your baby is one of the most important components of the daily routine. During the rest, the child gains physical strength, besides, his psychological state is evened out, and he is ready for new adventures and emotions. A deep and long sleep at night is especially important. It is then that the active development of brain cells occurs. If you follow the correct daily routine, then sleep in the daytime should be at least once. After all, in the process of active games and developmental activities, the baby loses a lot of energy, and daytime rest helps to replenish it.

The bed should be soft enough, cozy and warm. By the position of the baby during sleep, you can tell about his psychological state.

• The child sleeps on his stomach - his emotional state is elevated, perhaps there is fear.
• The baby presses his knees to his chest during sleep - most likely, your crumbs have some serious fears and anxieties.
• If he sleeps on all fours, then the baby is dissatisfied with something. For example, he did not want to go to bed, or something prevented him from falling asleep.
• Baby sleeps on his back - this indicates that he feels comfortable and relaxed.

As you can see, a well-spent day contributes to a good emotional state of the child and sound sleep. To keep your baby he althy, be sure to bathe your baby before laying down. It will be great if the room is ventilated before laying it down. Read a fairy tale or tell an interesting story. All these factors contribute to the proper sleep of the child.

Bathing

All kids love to take water treatments, because you can wallow in warm water and play. In addition, a properly prepared bath improves sleep and the he alth of the crumbs. Before placing the child inbath, check the temperature and water level. The temperature should be 35-36 degrees, and the level - no more than 25-30 cm, depending on the height of the child. For a baby at 10 months, unscented soap and shampoo are well suited. But do not overdo it, because the skin of a child at this age is too sensitive, and it can be overdried or irritated.

Take rubber toys into the bath with you. A favorite duck, a colorful boat and a kind dolphin will add a pleasant and positive mood to the usual bathing. And next time the child will be happy to take water procedures. The bathroom should have a special plastic chair so that after bathing the baby can sit on it while you dry it. Wipe the baby very gently, try to dip the wet places of the baby with a towel so as not to damage the steamed skin. After the procedure, wrap the crumbs in a dry towel to prevent chills and colds. You can then massage with special baby creams. The procedure will help to sleep better and surround the child's body with a protective layer.

Walk

Fresh air is required by any living organism, especially a small child. While walking outside, the baby explores the environment and gains energy. In the warm season, the walk should last no more than 2.5 hours, so that the baby does not overwork and overheat. In winter, it is better to limit your time outdoors to an hour so that your baby does not get cold and get sick. At this age, kids are very fond of walking on the street, because it is here that they canmeet and interact with other children.

From the point of view of psychology, a baby at 10 months old should begin to communicate with his peers, so that in the future he would not have problems with communication. Therefore, it is advisable to spend time on the playground so that your baby can both play in the sandbox and spend time with other children. Buy him a bucket and a spatula so that the baby can play with sand and make Easter cakes. This develops fine motor skills. But in no case, do not lose sight of the child, at this age they are too active. Proper walking also contributes to the appearance of appetite. We will talk about the nutrition of children at 10 months a little later.

Child Development

Gone are the days when your little one only slept and ate. Now he is interested in tasting everything, touching all the unknown things, especially if it is a hot iron or a socket. At this tender age, the child needs to be properly developed so that he understands what can be touched and what cannot. It is discipline and development that contribute to the competent development of the child as a small personality.

Drawing

One of the important developmental moments is drawing or modeling from plasticine. The kid can already hold a pencil or a piece of plasticine in his hands, draw lines and attach figures. Fine motor skills are very important for every child. Put the little one at a small table, give a sheet of paper and a set of soft pencils and move to the far corner. Left alone with the objects, the baby will begin to draw. Most often, children can mutter something. Don't interfere, ituseful for development. In addition, the picture can determine the psychological background of the child. This will be indicated by the thickness of the lines and the variety of strokes. In more detail, you can find out from a child psychologist and even ask to decipher the picture. But don't lose sight of the baby, because he can get hurt with a pencil or swallow plasticine.

Motor skills

Very interesting at this age are games with small toys and cubes. Play with your child. Show me how to build a tower or line up at the toy store. Make sure that the little one learns to say simple words such as "meow", "woof" or "moo". So the child will develop the concept of what kind of animal is in front of him and what sound it makes. For example, a cat says "meow". By building a pyramid or a tower, you can tell your child about the size of the cubes, their number and colors. Day after day, your child will remember this and will respond to requests. For example, submit a yellow cube.

Reading and singing

Another important aspect of a baby's development at ten months is reading books or singing songs. The peanut begins to plunge into the world of magic and fairy tales, which allows you to develop your imagination, this has a positive effect on your mood. Try to sing a song together while clapping your hands or raising your hands up. Dance! Dancing helps the child learn how to stand on his feet, and also makes him happy and contented. And you too.
