How much sleep should a child sleep?
How much sleep do I need during the day and night?
How long does it take to be awake and need to schedule a nap?
How many times is night milk reasonable?
The recommendations given by each agency are different, and some of the recommendations span too much age or too much time span.
So synthesize a few recommended sleep amounts, sort out this table, easy for everyone to view, directly on the chart.
Looks like you're sleeping so much? Is it reasonable to fix the value?
Don't worry, see how to see this table below.
Total sleep
First of all, the most important thing to pay attention to is the total amount of sleep per day of the child, this recommended amount of sleep is a very ideal situation, the baby's sleep is not stable, it is difficult to achieve the same amount of sleep every day. Of course, many angel babies can easily sleep so much.
If it is quite normal to have half an hour to 1 hour less than on the table, but if it is less than two hours or more for a long time, the amount of sleep may not be enough. My own most intuitive feeling is that if the amount of sleep is less than 2 hours, the child will obviously have a bad mood and a noisy situation, and it will become particularly difficult to carry.
The total amount of sleep per day is added together by day and night, the situation of each child is different, some children can sleep more at night, during the day will be a little less, some children sleep less at night, during the day will sleep a little more, night sleep time in 10-12 hours is normal.
Awake interval
The interval between awakenings is about 1.5 hours in about two months, and after two months, it increases by about 15 minutes per month, and each child's development and activity level are different, but this error I would recommend within 2 months.
For example, 6 months is 2 and a half hours, and it should be a reasonable situation for that body to be between 2-3 hours. If you are sleepy for less than 2 hours, you may not have enough sleep in the last sleep, and above 3 hours you may have to pay attention to whether there will be excessive fatigue.
There is not much reference significance in the wakefulness interval after 12 to 18 months, but it is still necessary to arrange a nap until the age of 3.
Many children may be able to insist on not taking a nap all day at the age of two, but being able to survive does not mean that the situation is good, and they may start to get emotional in the evening. Even after the age of 3, it is recommended to arrange a little nap time, which will make the child's afternoon condition a little better.
The number of naps and the number of night milks
The number of small sleeps will increase with the awakening time after the full moon, and the number of small sleeps that never occur in an indefinite number will slowly stabilize to 4 small sleeps. About 3-4 months will go from 4 small sleeps to 3 times, generally 6-9 months will be 3 and 2, 12 to 18 months will be 2 and 1.
The time of concurrent sleep depends on the sleep status, such as sleep at night can sleep up to 12 hours, during the day each small sleep can sleep longer, there are 1.5-2 hours, it will generally be earlier and sleep, 6 months and 2 sleeps, 12 months and 1 sleep.
If you wake up too early, it may actually be that the interval between waking up is too long, and the child is prone to excessive fatigue.
And beyond this range has not yet been realized, there may be a short sleep, sleep is not enough.
The number of night milk in the child after the full moon, 1-3 months, 2-3 times are reasonable, if the number of night milk is too much, and sometimes the baby drinks a few bites to sleep, and did not eat well, then try to use other comforting methods to sleep, to avoid developing dependence on milk sleep, wake up must suck two mouthfuls before sleeping.
In 4-6 months, many babies can start to appear for 7-9 hours without night milk, and this time it is actually possible to achieve 1 night milk. This stage can try to lengthen the time of nighttime sleep to the first night milk.
6-9 months old baby began to add complementary food, the digestive system is also relatively perfect, you can start to slowly quit night milk,
If the daytime eating situation is not ideal, it does not matter if you keep the night milk and do not rush to quit. However, if it is found that night milk is drunk too much, there will be no hunger during the day (especially in the morning), and the eating condition is very poor, then it is necessary to reduce the amount of night milk.
9-12 months can quit night milk, as long as the baby is well developed, eating and drinking milk are normal, you can no longer have to feed night milk. There is really no need to breastfeed at night at the age of 1.
Joe's dad's broken thoughts
This table is still in a situation that may be relatively average, in fact, as long as the gap is not too large, do not have to be too anxious, just like my own two children, it is impossible to sleep every day to the reference amount of sleep.
But really don't be too big, the 6-month-old baby only sleeps one nap, less than 11 hours a day, that is really very bad.
