How long does a newborn sleep at a time?

①The secretion of growth hormone in newborns is closely related to the baby's future height. Scientific research shows that growth hormone reaches its peak secretion one hour after deep sleep, and is most secreted between 10 pm and 1 am. If you miss this period, the baby's development will be affected. Generally, letting the baby go to sleep before 9 pm can ensure that the baby can enter the golden sleep state before 10 pm.

② In order to ensure the golden sleep effect, parents should start to avoid intense exercise before the baby goes to bed and create a ritual atmosphere for sleep. Newborn babies spend most of their time sleeping and need about 18 to 22 hours of sleep a day. As your baby gets older, his sleep time will gradually decrease.

What should you pay attention to when your newborn baby is sleeping?

①Some babies can only fall asleep with their mother’s milk or pacifier. In this way, the baby will subconsciously suck the breast or pacifier every time he wakes up. This overly frequent eating habit can easily cause gastrointestinal dysfunction in children. Secondly, after the child falls asleep, his mouth is still "blocked" by the milk, which makes it easy for him to have difficulty breathing, resulting in poor sleep quality and may even cause suffocation. So it is best not to let your child suck on a pacifier while he or she is sleeping.

②Sleep is very important for newborns. For many new mothers, they can learn more about parenting knowledge to better help take care of the baby. In addition to eating and drinking in daily life, newborns need more sleep, which is also very beneficial to their physical development. Therefore, parents do not need to worry too much. Every baby needs careful care to grow more healthily.
