How much sleep does a 2 month old baby need?

Many people know that babies eat many meals and sleep many times a day. Basically, I go to bed shortly after eating throughout the day. So the question is, how long does a 2-month-old baby sleep? This is a question worth thinking about. Because no matter how much a child needs sleep, he or she cannot sleep too long. It is not good to not grasp the appropriate degree of anything. Today I will tell you how long is the normal sleep time for a 2-month-old baby.

Newborns spend most of their time sleeping, with a total sleep time of about 18 to 22 hours a day. As your baby gets older, his sleep time will gradually decrease. Babies aged 2 to 5 months sleep approximately 15 to 18 hours, babies aged 6 to 12 months sleep approximately 14 to 16 hours, and babies aged 1 to 3 years sleep approximately 10 to 12 hours. Of course, different babies have different individual differences and their sleep time will also vary. Wu Baoning said that the current reference value for baby's daily sleep time is set abroad, and the reference value for sleep time has not yet been set in China. According to a 2006 Chinese children's sleep survey, due to regional differences, the average sleep time of children in my country is two hours less than that in other countries. There are great individual differences in the amount of sleep each child needs. Some children sleep for a long time, while others sleep for a short time. Whether it is a dozen hours or 20 hours, it can be considered normal. Parents need to pay attention to other conditions of the child to comprehensively measure the child's growth status, such as: whether the child has a good appetite every day, how his mental reaction is, whether he looks happy instead of listless, and whether his growth and development is in line with the standards. If there are no problems with these, don't worry too much even if you don't get enough sleep to meet normal requirements. In addition, some children's insufficient sleep or poor sleep quality is directly related to some diseases. When they are unwell, they are prone to restless sleep. External factors, such as noise and excessive light, can easily make babies sleep poorly. Parents should try to avoid them. If parents want their baby to sleep more, they can extend the time they hold the baby. Because sleep is divided into light sleep and deep sleep, generally speaking, children's deep sleep time is shorter, but as they age, the deep sleep time will increase. Some babies fall asleep in their parents' arms. The parents think the babies are asleep and put them down. Then the babies wake up again soon. This is because the babies have not yet entered deep sleep. Therefore, when parents hold their baby to sleep, they can hold the baby for a while longer, allowing the baby to fall into a deep sleep before putting the baby to bed.

From the above we can know how long a 2-month-old baby sleeps, so we must pay attention to these details when taking care of children in the future. Babies are very fragile and need us to take care of them with great care, so we must pay our utmost attention.
