45-day-old baby sleep time:

How much sleep does a 45-day-old baby get in a day? Generally speaking, for babies over 45 days old, more than 12 hours of sleep a day is enough. They can sleep less during the day and more at night.

What to do if your baby has trouble sleeping

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 let their babies sleep on time according to their biological clock. This is the basic method to develop correct sleeping habits.

2. Don’t go to bed immediately after breastfeeding.

Three months after birth, the baby's biological clock gradually becomes regular, but it is difficult to develop the habit of sleeping alone during this period. In addition, do not go to sleep immediately after breastfeeding, so it is best to play with your baby after breastfeeding.

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 times you wake up at night gradually decreases, and you can take two or three naps during the day. During this period, the mother should breastfeed or coax the baby to sleep regularly. In daily life, you should go to bed on time and feed your baby fully before waking up at night.

4. Let your baby feel the daytime.

It is recommended that mothers try to keep the home bright during the day, such as opening the curtains to let sunlight into the house so that the baby can experience the feeling of daytime.

5. Create a sense of tranquility.

In a dim environment, the human body secretes a large amount of hormones that promote sleep and growth. Therefore, at night, the mother may wish to turn on only a small light in the baby's room and try to keep the home dim, quiet and comfortable. In a dark environment, the most sleep hormone can be secreted. At the same time, it can also allow the baby to 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.

6. Maintain appropriate temperature.

Maintaining the proper temperature is very important for your baby to sleep soundly. When the baby is dressed for sleep, the mother should pay attention to the baby's body temperature. As long as the baby does not feel too hot or too cold, it's fine. The mother can touch the baby's body with her hand. If the baby is not sweating and the body is warm but not cold, it means the temperature is suitable.

7. Play with your child during the day.

Parents may wish to play some light and pleasant music, or some radio sounds for their baby during the day. At the same time, mothers can also use the daytime to talk more with their babies or play more with their babies. This not only consumes the baby's energy and helps him sleep soundly at night, but also allows the baby to feel the daytime.
