How much sleep does a three-month-old baby need?

Parents often find that their babies sleep restlessly, which is a great torture for the parents and is also very bad for the baby's physical and mental health. If the baby does not sleep well for a long time, it is necessary to consider the lack of trace elements in the baby's body. In addition, environmental factors should be considered, such as too cold or too hot, or the indoor temperature is too dry, etc. So, normally, how long should a three-year-old child sleep a day?

Sleep time for a three-month-old baby:

1-3 months old baby

Under normal circumstances, babies aged 1-3 months sleep about 16 hours. During the day, the baby's sleep time is about 1-2 hours each time, and he needs to sleep about 4 times during the day; at night, the baby can sleep for 10-11 hours. Of course, babies in the early stages of infancy will still wake up suddenly at night. They may want to be fed, they may need their diapers changed, or they may simply need company.

4-6 months old baby

Babies between 4 and 6 months old should get 14 hours of sleep a day. However, parents should note that the specific sleeping time should be adjusted according to the baby's specific situation, especially do not wake the baby up when the baby is sleeping. Because the baby at this time will gradually develop a normal schedule, and the daytime sleep time will be reduced.

7-12 months old baby

Babies aged 7-12 months may gradually sleep less during the day, and their total sleep time is basically around 14 hours a day, with 1-2 hours each in the morning and afternoon. Babies at this age will basically wake up very early after a night's sleep, and their diapers will need to be changed several times during the night. Parents should also pay attention that if the baby is "playful", they must ensure the child's normal sleep time. If the baby sleeps too little, it may affect the child's healthy development; conversely, it may also delay the baby's motor development.

In fact, sleep plays an important role in the growth and development of infants and young children. A baby who does not sleep well is very troublesome for the mother. It is prone to crying and it also affects the height and weight, which will affect the future intellectual development. Therefore, mothers should pay more attention to the baby's sleep at this time. If the situation is very serious, they should go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
