Is it good for babies to sleep frequently?

Many mothers have found that newborn babies always sleep, except for eating and sleeping. Will this affect their health and development? In fact, this phenomenon is very normal. Children sleep much longer than adults. It is normal to sleep for almost twenty hours a day. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much. We still need to have a correct understanding of whether it is good for babies to sleep frequently.

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 for 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 old 12 Seven years old and above 9-10 Four months 15-16 Fifteen months 13 Five years old 11.5

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.

(8) 31-36 months: Sleep once during the day, about 2 hours. In addition to observing whether the sleeping posture is correct, we also need to see whether the baby lies down actively, whether he falls asleep quietly, and whether he can lie still after waking up without crying or making a fuss.

Through the above introduction, everyone is clear about whether it is good for babies to sleep frequently. As long as the child's physical indicators are normal, there is no need to worry that they sleep too long. In fact, this is the case for newborn babies. As the child grows older, the sleep time will be reduced accordingly.
