6 month old baby sleep time

Babies do not have a fixed schedule. They usually eat when they wake up, cry and make a fuss, and sleep when they are sleepy. However, as children grow older, they will be interested in everything around them and become less interested in sleeping. It is very important for parents to ensure that their children get enough sleep, which should be determined according to the child's age. So, how much sleep does a 6-month-old baby need? Let’s take a look.

Generally, a six-month-old baby should sleep for about 14 hours. However, each baby is different, so the sleep time is also long or short.

How to regulate the baby's poor sleep

1. Adapt to your baby's biological clock. Babies sleep until they are 3 months old. At this time, parents must not change their sleeping time. They should feed and sleep on time according to the baby's biological clock. This is the basic method to develop correct sleeping habits.

3. Feed or sleep regularly. Three months after the baby is born, he sleeps about 14 hours a day, 12 of which are spent at night. At this time, the number of awakenings at night gradually decreases, and you can sleep two or three times during the day. During this period, the mother should breastfeed or coax the baby to sleep regularly.

5. Create a sense of tranquility at night. The human body can secrete the most sleep hormone in a dark environment. Therefore, at night, the mother may wish to only turn on a small light in the baby's room, and try to keep the home dim, quiet and comfortable, so that the baby can gradually develop an understanding of the night. Gradually develop the habit of being active during the day and resting at night, and then gradually adjust your baby's biological clock to normal.
