Sleeping time for babies over 2 months old

Babies over two months old are still in the infant stage, so parents must pay attention to taking good care of them at this time. Many parents will not allow any noise in the house when the baby is sleeping, for fear of disturbing the child. In fact, as long as the baby's sleep time is managed reasonably, he can still fall asleep peacefully, and the family will feel more relaxed.

A two-month-old baby's sleep time will be slightly shorter than that of a newborn baby, averaging 15-16 hours a day, and most of the sleep time will be spent at night. During the day, babies will sleep for a shorter time, but usually still sleep for 3 or 4 hours.

When your baby first wakes up, he or she will usually cry a little. When the child cries, mom and dad should pay attention to comfort the baby, and he will stop crying soon. Parents can also let the baby continue crying for a short while, no more than 6 minutes. The baby will generally calm down on his own and fall asleep again.

In general, a two-month-old baby usually sleeps about 15 hours. Parents should pay attention to their baby's sleep time and their mental state when playing during the day. If the baby sleeps less than 15 hours, and is in good spirits while playing during the day, parents don't need to worry.

Mothers should understand the characteristics of their baby's sleep and don't need to worry too much about their baby's sleep time, because generally speaking, babies have their own biological clock.

1. Newborn babies will wake up many times, mainly because they need to eat. For at least the first two weeks, he woke up every two hours, both day and night.

2. The baby's sleep has cycles: when he twitches suddenly, his eyelids move, and he wakes up quickly, it means he is in a light sleep accompanied by dreams; when he lies very quietly, it means he is in a deep sleep, called "NON-REM sleep", that is, non-rapid eye movement sleep.

3. It is normal for babies to make strange breathing sounds when sleeping. During light sleep, they may hum, snore, or take sudden, forceful inhalations of air.

4. It is normal for your baby to hardly notice his breathing when he is sleeping. In deep sleep, his breathing would be very quiet and his body would not move at all.

5. There are things you can do to encourage your baby to sleep well from day one. Of course, don't be fooled by this quiet 2-month-old baby or even have the illusion that everything is safe and sound. Implement an effective sleep strategy when your baby is very young.
