Between the ages of 13 and 15 months, children experience significant developmental milestones and changes in sleep patterns. Here are some typical milestones and sleep patterns for children in this age range:

1. Motor Skills:

– Walking: Most children start walking independently between 13 and 15 months.

– Climbing: They can climb stairs with support or assistance.

– Fine Motor Skills: They can grasp and manipulate objects using their fingers, such as stacking blocks or turning pages of a book.

2. Language and Cognitive Skills:

– Vocabulary Growth: They begin to say a few words and understand simple instructions.

– Imitation: They may imitate actions or sounds they observe.

– Object Recognition: They can identify familiar objects and people.

3. Social and Emotional Development:

– Separation Anxiety: They may experience increased separation anxiety and cling to familiar caregivers.

– Social Interaction: They start showing more interest in playing with others and may engage in simple interactive games.

4. Sleep Patterns:

– Nighttime Sleep: Most children in this age group sleep for about 11-14 hours per night, including 1-2 daytime naps.

– Transition to One Nap: Some children may begin transitioning from two naps to one longer afternoon nap.

– Sleep Regression: Some children may experience temporary sleep disruptions or regressions due to developmental milestones or teething.

It’s important to remember that every child develops at their own pace. If you have concerns about your child’s development or sleep patterns, it’s best to consult with a paediatrician/GP or Dream Sleep Occupational Therapy for personalised advice and guidance.
