Is it good for babies to sleep during the day?

I believe that many mothers will have some troubles or concerns about their baby's sleep. For example, the child always sleeps during the day, which makes the family members very worried. So is it good for babies to sleep during the day? In fact, for a newborn baby, twenty-four hours a day, except for eating, defecating and peeing, it is sleeping. This is very normal for growth. There is no distinction between day and night. Just don't sleep upside down.

We can see that infants and young children sleep much more than adults.

Newborns sleep almost all the time except when they are awake to feed or have a wet diaper.

The baby's nervous system is not yet fully developed and the brain is easily fatigued, so getting more sleep is exactly what the baby needs for growth and development.

The sleep time of infants and young children is generally as follows (hours): Newborn 20 Nine months 14-15 Two years old 12.5 Seven years old 11

Two months 16-18 Twelve months 13-14 Three years 12 Seven years and older 9-10

Four months 15-16 Fifteen months 13 Five years old 11.5

How to monitor children's sleep?

Children of different ages need different lengths of sleep. Here’s how much sleep children of different ages should get and how to observe their sleep.

(1) Newborns: They should sleep for 20 hours a day. During sleep, make sure the baby’s posture is correct.

(2) 2 to 3 months: The baby spends about 18 hours a day sleeping except for feeding, defecation and urination. The same observations as above.

(3) 4 to 6 months: Sleep three times during the day, each time for about 2 hours, for a total of about 6 hours. Observation is the same as above.

(4) 7 to 12 months: Sleep twice during the day, each time for about 2 hours, for a total of about 4 hours. Observation is the same as above.

(5) 13 to 18 months: Sleep twice during the day, each time for about 1.5 to 2 hours, for a total of about 3 to 4 hours. Observation is the same as above.

(6) 19 to 24 months: Sleep once during the day, for about 2 to 2.5 hours. In addition to observing whether the sleeping posture is correct, you should also observe whether the baby closes his eyes, whether he sleeps quietly, and whether he gets enough sleep.

(7) 25-30 months: Sleep once during the day, about 2.5 hours. In addition to observing whether the sleeping posture is correct, it is also necessary to observe whether the baby can fall asleep quietly and whether he can lie down quietly after being reminded by an adult after waking up without disturbing others, whether he gets enough sleep, and whether he is energetic and happy after waking up.

I believe everyone knows whether it is good for babies to sleep during the day. Ensuring that children get enough sleep is very helpful for their growth and development. After all, children are still young and their sleep time will inevitably be a bit long. However, we should also pay attention to gradually helping children develop good sleeping habits and ensure their health.
