The weather is quite hot now, so parents will arrange a nap for their babies. In addition, children are very tired after walking around all day, so they will fall asleep. If babies suddenly cry during their sleep during the day, many mothers will worry whether their babies are frightened! Let's understand the main reasons together. 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. In fact, the reason why babies suddenly cry while sleeping during the day is because they lack a sense of security. Sometimes they will suddenly cry when they see that there is no one around them. In addition, children are also emotional, so mothers should give their children appropriate comfort and a sense of security. |
