What should I do if my four-month-old baby has trouble sleeping?

The baby's physical health is one of the most concerned issues for parents. Once the baby has some abnormal conditions, parents will definitely be very worried and don't know how to deal with it. Therefore, we recommend that parents learn more about how to care for the baby. Once the baby has a problem, they should know how to help the baby to treat it. Below we will introduce to you what to do if a four-month-old baby has poor sleep.

The average sleep time of a 4-month-old baby is about 9 to 12 hours a day, and he will take three naps during the day, each lasting 2 to 3 hours. This is a transition phase and your baby will soon be sleeping twice a day on a regular basis. When your child only takes 2 naps during the day, he will get longer sleep at night.

Most babies at this age will spend the majority of their sleep time at night, and they will be awake longer during the day.

Your child now has things he or she can do to calm himself or herself down and fall asleep. Now is the time to develop a routine that helps him sleep soundly during the day and at night. Patterns are very important for your four-month-old, so try to keep daytime naps and bedtimes at the same time and in the same manner every day. You don't have to be strict, just try to stick to it as much as possible.

Tip: Your baby is now able to turn over a little and may be able to move around in his or her crib. You might consider getting a swaddle-style blanket, otherwise he'll always try to move himself outside and wake up from the cold. Before purchasing, carefully confirm whether the blanket is made of flame retardant material.

In the above article, we introduced one of the things that parents are most concerned about, that is, the baby's physical health. We suggest that parents should not only pay attention to the baby's diet but also pay attention to the baby's sleep. The above article gives us a detailed introduction to what to do if a four-month-old baby has poor sleep.
