The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) recently made changes to sleep recommendations for kids. Newborns zero to three months need 12 to 18 hours of sleep a day, while infants four to 11 months should get 12 to 15 hours. Toddlers one to two years old need 11 to 14 hours of sleep, preschoolers three to five years old need 10 to 13 hours, and school-age children six to 13 years old should have nine to 11 hours of shut-eye daily. Does your child get enough? (huffingtonpost.com)
2. Toddler food has too much salt
Pre-packaged foods for one- to three-year olds are high in salt and added sugar, a new study found. The study, which was published in the journal Pediatrics, shows that off-the-shelf toddler food, even most fruit-based and savory snacks, contains as much salt and sugar as junk food. Kids set their taste preferences early in life, and if they get used to too sweet and salty food early on, it can affect their diet growing up. (livescience.com)

5. School bans non-vaccinated children
In an effort to protect its students, a California high school denied dozens of non-vaccinated students from entering the school on Wednesday, January 28, over a concern that a classmate may have contracted measles, a highly contagious disease that began in Disneyland resort last month. This is the second time the Palm Desert High School prohibited non-vaccinated students from classes since the outbreak. (huffingtonpost.com)ADVERTISEMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW
