Your Child's Bedtime Routine. Bedtime routines are important for children. Regardless of age, regular schedules and bedtime rituals help us get the sleep we need and to function at peak levels. When it comes to children, this is especially true. Establishing and maintaining good sleep habits helps your child fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up rested and refreshed.
By six months, your baby will consume 6 to 8 ounces (180â240 ml) at each of four or five feedings in twenty-four hours. On average, your baby should take in about 2 1â2 ounces (75 ml) of formula a day for every pound (453 grams) of body weight. But he probably will regulate his intake from day to day to meet his own specific needs. So instead of going by fixed amounts, let him tell you when heâs had enough.
Everyoneâs heard the old refrain â drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Turns out thatâs not entirely accurate. The Mayo Clinic recommends about 13 cups a day for an average male and about nine cups a day for the average female. But the actual amount of water a person should drink in a day can vary based on where you live, how much you weigh, and what kind of lifestyle you lead.
