How much sleep is normal for a 3 and a half month old baby?

Babies are prone to some seemingly abnormal phenomena when they are sleeping. For example, parents will find that their babies shake their heads while sleeping. At this time, they should consider whether the baby's scalp has become dirty. Many parents are careless and will not clean the baby's head in time. If the baby's head is uncomfortable, he will shake his head while sleeping. So, generally speaking, how long should a three-month-old baby sleep every day?

Sleep time for 3 and a half month old babies:

When the baby is born, he spends most of his time sleeping. Even if he wakes up for a short time, he will fall asleep quickly after drinking milk. As babies get older, their sleep schedules change. So, how long does a 3-month-old baby sleep? Next, let’s introduce the changes in your baby’s sleep time.

1. 1 to 3 months

Children aged 1 to 3 months should sleep about 16 hours a day, including 4 sleeps during the day, each lasting 1.5 to 2 hours, and 10 to 11 hours at night. This means that apart from feeding, changing diapers and playing for a while, most of the time is spent sleeping.

2. 4 to 6 months

Babies aged 4 to 6 months should sleep about 14 hours a day. Babies who love exercise sleep shorter and stay awake longer during the day. For this type of baby, we need to find ways to make him happy during his waking time. Quiet babies love to sleep during the day and go to bed early at night. Only as the baby's desire for activity in the world around him rapidly develops does daytime sleep time begin to decrease. Generally, I sleep for 1 to 2 hours in the morning and 2 to 3 hours in the afternoon. Due to the increased exercise during the day, babies who are slightly tired can sleep soundly at night.

3. 7 to 12 months

The amount of time babies sleep and how soundly they sleep varies from one baby to another between 7 and 12 months old. Generally, I take a nap in the morning, and each sleep lasts 1 to 2 hours. I sleep 1 to 2 times in the afternoon, each time for 1 to 2 hours, and my sleep conditions at night are also different. I usually sleep about 10 hours at night. Among babies of this age, it is rare for them to sleep through the night without waking up. Generally you have to wake up 2 to 3 times to urinate. At this time, there are babies who fall asleep immediately after their diapers are changed, babies who can fall asleep only after drinking enough breast milk, and babies who cannot fall asleep without drinking about 80 to 100 ml of milk.
