How Much Sleep Do Toddlers Need To Get?

Babies love their sleep. Sometimes it may not seem like it to parents exhausted by endless feeds, tantrums and nappy changes – but they do.

In fact, by the age of two most children will have spent more of their lives asleep than awake.

Things start to change around the age our little bundles of joy begin to find their feet and start the transformation from horizontal babies to somewhat vertical toddlers.

But how much sleep does a toddler actually need?

The answer is a lot – usually far far more than parents allow for. Experts believe 13-14 hours is the correct amount, including naptime.

Good sleep is essential in this early stage of their development. The quality and quantity of a child’s sleep impacts their brain development as well as their emotional and behavioural functioning. An increasing body of research also suggests that sleep helps children fight obesity, avoid colds and even succeed in school.

So the importance of sleep a this age cannot be understated but unfortunately it’s at this crucial age that many children begin to actively resist bedtime. The reasons for are manyfold.

Their motor, cognitive and social abilities are all expanding rapidly and with this comes overstimulation. Every day at this age is a sensory adventure and their brains often struggle to keep up with all enormous daily data dumps they receive.

Add to this the development of the child’s capacity for imagination which can lead to the onset of sleep problems such as nightmares. With this comes an understandable increase in a child’s resistance to sleep and to nighttime in general.

The experts over at the Sleep Advisor blog know a thing or two about how to handle nightmares, check out their hints and tips.

Similarly, with their newfound ability to get out of bed on their own, toddlers have a freedom to make choices they simply couldn’t when they were younger – such as getting up and wandering around. Add to this other issues such as separation anxiety and it is no surprise they are reluctant to stay tucked in.

If a child has poor sleep habits, refuses to nap or simply won’t go to bed at his scheduled time, parents often assume the little one doesn’t need that much sleep. Unfortunately that is most likely not the case.

In fact it is more likely such a problem child is actually sleep-deprived. This sounds counterintuitive but it’s true. Drowsy children don’t necessarily slow down the way adults do – overtired, they instead get wound up and display erratic behaviour at bedtime.

But what can be done to help a problem sleeper find the rest they so need. Well funnily enough, the tips sleep experts give to help a toddlers get more sleep are surprisingly similar to those adults should follow also.

They include maintaining a regular daily sleep schedule with a consistent bedtime routine and making sure the sleeping environment is kept the same every night.
Access to screens should also be limited to avoid over stimulating the little one before bed.

Advice we can all learn from.

5 Tips to Buying Baby Clothes

Buying clothes for your newborn baby is just as exciting as shopping for your own clothes. Suddenly, everything is 20 times smaller than what you would normally buy. You would think that isn’t a lot of varieties available. However, don’t let the size fool you. In fact, several shopping malls dedicate an entire floor just for baby clothes and toys.

There are shops and establishment that sell only baby clothing items. According to Statista, the baby clothing is a billion-dollar industry. Despite the massive marketing campaigns and the huge selection of baby paraphernalia, what do we really know about buying baby clothes? Here are simple tips on how to efficiently purchase baby clothes.

1. Choose Different Sizes

Babies grow up so fast. They grow taller and gain weight only after a few months. Therefore, there is no point in lingering too long on 0-2 months’ sized clothes. Leave this to your friends and family who will give you presents. When you go out to shop, ideally before giving birth, try to buy clothes of varied sizes. Once you have given birth, you will be too busy nursing or healing that you might not find another time to shop until after six months or so. It is highly recommended that you anticipate this and buy clothes up to the size of a six-month-old baby. You can start shopping for baby clothes such as rompers, dresses, jumpsuits, and onesies at https://laminimas.com/.

2. Buy the Necessities First

As colorful and adorable as they may look, baby costumes should not be on your priority list when buying baby clothes. Stop shopping for swimming gears, Christmas dresses, or sports uniforms unless you have already bought a bunch of towels, shirts, pajamas, onesies, and blankets. These will come in handy when you have a newborn spitting or making a mess all the time. It’s always helpful to have a few of these within your reach when you need them the most.

3. Check Out Used Clothes

Since babies tend to grow out of their baby clothes, you might want to consider buying used clothing from thrift stores. Just make sure that they are clean and the garment is still strong. This way, you can save some money and wait until your baby is grown to buy a more suitable and more expensive clothing that will be used for a very long time. If you have family members who had children in the past, you can buy some of the baby clothes that they are no longer using.

4. Choose the Right Material

Baby’s tend to be very sensitive and the hardest part is that they can’t tell you yet what exactly is wrong. So, you just have to take their crying as a clue. Buying clothes with the best materials is crucial for a happy and healthy baby. In general, clothes made from cotton is a great choice for babies. Cotton is soft, absorbent, and comfortable. They don’t stick too much to the skin which lessens skin irritation. Jersey knit is also a great fabric because of its breathable quality. It is stretchable and dries very fast.

5. Buy Seasoned Baby Clothing

If you live in a country where the weather can change drastically from warm to cold, you need to be prepared in terms of the clothes available for your baby. Buy singlets, thin shirts and pajamas during the warmer season. However, you should also keep long-sleeves, tights, thick hats, blankets, and socks to combat the cold winter season.

The event was super fun, nakakaindak ang Pampers Go Galaw jingle, made me wish na sana kasama ko si Marius!

Pampers Go Galaw Challenge

Kung naindak din kayo sa jingle ng new Pampers Baby Dry at gusto nyo manalo ng 100,000 Pesos, join the Less Lawlaw movement!


Is your baby 3 years old or younger? sobrang likot ni baby di ba? Laging lawlaw ang diaper? Akala ko dati it’s a normal thing.. and that it’s a sign na puno na ang diaper. HINDI PALA! Ngayon ko lang na realize how uncomfortable lawlaw diaper is to my baby. And that it can affect my baby’s development. Buti na lang I choose Pampers. With the right diaper, si Marius walks and even dance comfortably.

If you’re a Filipina mom 20 years old and above with a baby 3 years old or younger, you can join the Pampers Go Galaw contest from March 17-May 16, 2018!

NEW Pampers Baby Dry Review


Pampers gave us the Gift of Go Galaw Mornings box so we had the chance to take a closer look of what’s inside the New Pampers Baby Dry.

The New Pampers Baby Dry has 3 channels that helps para maging equal yung distribution ng wetness sa diaper. I know most of you will agree how usually the wetness is concentrated on the center part of the diaper. Yung part na “lawlaw” na di ba? And I know most of you can relate to the thought na yung lawlaw is indication na “puno” na yung diaper.

I am shookt with the new Pampers Baby Dry. Kase all the while, I was waiting for the lawlaw moment, hindi sya dumating ha. Nanay ko nga, akala maghapon lang naka “brief” si Marius and without diaper.

I’m super in love with the nipis factor of the new Pampers Baby Dry and yet it is super absorbent. Minsan iniisip ko, san nangaling yung absorbent na yun eh sobrang nipis nya. Well, it was answered, the new magic gel can do that, and with the addition of the leak channels, I am more than satisfied with our diaper.

Super glad that we choose Pampers. specially now that Marius is at his most likot moment. Galaw lang ng galaw without lawlaw!
