Story/cassettes/videos

Begin letting the child practice sitting on the potty with her clothes on once or
twice a day. Let her get up whenever she wants.Your goal is to help her become
comfortable with it.
•Praise the child for each step, even the small ones and the ones that aren't
completely successful. Stay upbeat. Remember that this is her accomplishment,
not yours.
•Once she's comfortable sitting on the potty with her clothes on, have her
practice sitting on it with her clothes off. This helps her get familiar with the
concept of removing her clothes before going to the bathroom. It also lets her
feel what the seat is like next to her skin.
•After a few days, when your child has a bowel movement in her nappy, have her
watch you dump it into the potty so that she can see where it should go. Explain
to her that this is where urine and stool belong. (Children this age are also
mastering the idea that certain things go in certain places.)
•Look for signs that your child needs to urinate or move her bowels. Some
children will tell you in so many words. Others will grimace or grunt or get into a
particular position. When that happens, ask her if she needs to go.
Please see hand out to support this.
How to support the child.

Give the child lots of praise at each stage of learning. It's also a good idea to
praise him whenever he tells you he has to use the potty, even if you've just
asked him the question.
Expect him to make mistakes, especially in the beginning. Don't get angry;
that will just make things take longer. If he resists trying something new, it
probably means he's not ready yet. Simply back off and try again in a few
days or even weeks.
Once your child has been successful for a few days, start making the switch
to underwear. Some children feel more secure in diapers or training pants;
others can't wait for "big boy" or "big girl" underwear. Let your child's
reaction guide you in how quickly you make the change.
Remember that some young children are frightened by the sound and
actions of a flushing toilet. If he's bothered by it, don't force him to flush; do
it after he leaves the room. That fear usually goes away in a few months.

What resources would you need?

Bathing
 Most babies will need a daily bath and you should ensure
that you follow a good hygiene routine throughout.
 Safety in the bath is equally important, and maintaining a
secure hold of your baby will also reassure them and
make them feel more comfortable.

How can we integrate play into this routine?
There are many store bought bath toys available,
but there are many more that can be found
around the home.
Clean, rinsed squeezy bottles are excellent.
Blowing bubbles in the water and singing songs
with actions is always fun as well as helping to
develop other skills.
Make it fun!

 In pairs demonstrate how to bath a baby
 Please ensure that you show how to play with the child!

What is the practitioners role in relation
to bathing ?

Looking after teeth
If teeth are not looked after they can
become damaged or even fall out.
How can you encourage children to look after
their teeth?
Taking the child to a dentist
Brushing the teeth twice a day
Reducing sugary foods and drinks

Facts
Once teeth begin erupting, you can begin
cleaning them by wiping them with a moist
washcloth.
As the child gets more teeth, you can begin
to use a soft child's toothbrush.
You should use just a pea-sized amount of a
fluoride toothpaste or a non-fluoride
toothpaste until your child is able to spit it
out, too much fluoride can stain their teeth.
Children should be supervised up to the age
of 7

Watch the clip discuss what might happen if these hygiene procedures are
not followed.
Infants can be susceptible to infections as their immune systems are still
developing. Although infant formula is produced in hygienic and carefully
controlled conditions, it is not sterile and can contain low levels of bacteria.
Preparing milk correctly can minimise the growth of harmful bacteria.
Poor hygiene

Consider aspects of hygiene for both carers and children

Sleep Needs 6 weeks old
New-born babies tend to sleep a great deal.
Shorter spells of sleep during the day
Longer periods of sleep during the night
Will wake for a feed
Sleep is spread out throughout a 24hr period –
usually every four-five hours lasting two-and-a
half hours
15 hours in a 24 hour period is required.

Sleep needs 7 months old
From four and a half months onwards, most
babies are capable of sleeping for eight hours
without needing a feed.
By seven months babies usually have two to three
daytime sleeps each between one-and a half and
two hours.
13- 14 hours sleep and rest in a 24hr period.

Sleeps needs of 15 month old
From 1 year until 2 years babies will sleep
for approx. 11 hours at night.
Rest of their sleep is daytime naps.
15- 18 months will have one longer daytime
sleep rather than two shorter naps
14 hours sleep and rest in 24 hour period

In pairs practice laying your
babies in a cot
Task

Sleep needs of two and half years
Between ages of two-three years most
children still need one nap a day, which may
range from on to three and a half hours
long.
At this age children usually go to bed
between 7 and 9pm and wake up between 6
and 8am
13 hours sleep and rest in 24 hour period

Sleep needs of four to five years
By four years a child will meet all their sleep
and rest needs at night, though some
children may need short daytime rest or
sleep.
11- 11.5 hours sleep and rest in a 24 hr
period

Sleep needs of six to seven years
Daytime sleeps has disappeared and
all sleep needs are met at night-time
10-11 hrs sleep and rest in a 24 hour
period.

Cultural differences
Some parents believe a child should sleep in
with them
Later sleep times
Sleeps in the afternoon mean child can stay
up in the evening
Energy levels of the child can impact on
sleep allowance

Bedtime routine
Why do you need to have a bedtime routine?
Between three to five months, most baby’s are
ready to settle into a routine
What should that routine consist of?

Establish a routine
Children will only sleep if they are actually tired
Provide enough activity and exercise
Some children do not have a nap during the day
but should be encouraged to rest in quiet areas.
Treat each child uniquely – needs for sleep
Find out the child’s individual sleep habits

Bedtime routine
Give baby a bath or wash and put on clean nappy and nightwear.
Take child to say goodnight to other members in the household
Carry to his/her room, telling in quiet voice that it is time for bed.
Give the last breast or bottle feed in room where baby sleeps.

Settle the child
Sing a song or lullaby to help settle, while gently
rocking in arms
Wrap securely and settle in cot or cradle saying
good night – feet to foot position
Controlled crying sleep routine – in tune
If liked, gently pat to sleep.

5.1. Create a poster to:- Explain the
rest and sleep needs of:
a baby aged 6 weeks
a baby aged 7 months
a toddler aged 15 months
a child aged 2 and a half
years
a child aged 4 – 5 years
a child aged 6 – 7 years.

SIDS
'Sudden Infant Death’ is
the term used to
describe the sudden and
unexpected death of a
baby or toddler that is
initially unexplained.
The Lullaby Trust

Precautions
In your groups discuss what you
will do as precautions to reduce
the risks of sudden infant death
syndrome?

SIDSThe Facts
221 unexplained infant deaths occurred in England and
Wales in 2012, a rate of 0.30 deaths per 1,000 live births.
Unexplained infant deaths accounted for 8% of all infant
deaths occurring in 2012.
Eight out of ten unexplained infant deaths occurred in the
post-neonatal period (between 28 days and 1 year).
Almost two-thirds (64%) of unexplained infant deaths were
boys in 2012 (141 deaths).
The rate of unexplained infant death was three times higher
among low birth weight babies (less than 2,500g) than
babies with a normal birth weight (2,500g and over).

Top ten tips on how to stop a baby over
heating
1. Keep the room in which the baby sleeps between 16- 20
0c.
2. Use a thermometer in the room where the baby sleeps
as it difficult to judge the temperature
3. Check babies to see if they are sweating or their
stomachs feel hot to the touch if so remove some
bedding
4. Use light weight blankets and do not use a duvet, quilt
or a pillow for babies under 12 months old
5. Babies who are not well or feverish need fewer bed
clothes even in the winter

6. Make sure the babies head cannot be covered by the
bed clothes by laying them down with their feet at the
base of the cot so they can not wriggle under the
covers
7. Never let babies sleep with a hot water bottle,
electric blanket next to the radiator or in direct
sunshine
8. When it is warm cool the room by closing curtains
and opening the windows during the day. Offer the
baby plenty to drink
9. Remove the babies hat or extra clothing as soon as
you get in doors even if it wakes the baby

5.2. Explain safety precautions which
minimise the risk of sudden infant death
syndrome.

Learning Outcomes

Reasons for immunisation
• Up until the middle of last century , large numbers
of babies and toddlers died before their third
birthday as a result of contracting various
infectious diseases.
• Vaccines work by giving the body a safe version of
the disease so that the body’s immune system can
develop antibodies to protect itself.
• Antibodies mean that if a child is later exposed to
the disease they are ready to fight it.

The chart shows the increase in cases of
measles reported inWales from November
2012 to February 2013.

6.3. Explain the reasons why some
children are not immunised.
In the UK, the childhood
immunisation programme is
not compulsory, and
therefore parental consent
has to be obtained before the
child is immunised.
Although primary
immunisation uptake in the
UK is relatively high (95 per
cent of children are
immunised by the age of two
years, not including MMR), a
small percentage of children
are not immunised.
parental preferences – e.g.
for homeopathy
religious reasons
an unwell child when first
immunisations were due
general lack of belief in the
validity of immunisation
fear of being responsible for
any possible side effects to
the immunisation
previous diagnosis of the
disease.
