How many quilts are appropriate for a newborn baby?

The baby's body is very delicate. Every baby is the focus of protection for the whole family. Parents hope to give the best to their babies, but in many cases, parents don't know what to do to be good for the baby. For example, when it comes to covering the baby with a quilt, young parents lack experience, so they don't know how many quilts are appropriate for the baby. Let's learn about this knowledge below.

How many quilts are appropriate for a newborn baby?

In the hot summer, it is also necessary to cover your child with something when he sleeps. Towel blankets are both sweat-absorbent and breathable. Thinner towel blankets are very suitable for covering children, especially around the navel, which is prone to abdominal pain and diarrhea due to cold. Therefore, even if you don’t cover anything else, you should put a towel on your child’s belly to protect it.

It’s cold in winter, so you can just cover yourself with a big quilt and some clothes to cover yourself tightly. Fold the quilt at your feet down so that the cold wind can’t get in. If you are still worried, you can use tweezers to clamp both sides of the baby's quilt, but don't clamp it too tightly, otherwise the baby will be uncomfortable. If the child is not well behaved, you can put the baby in a big and warm sleeping bag. This way, you don't have to worry about the baby kicking off the quilt and catching a cold. Note: do not cover the baby completely below the head to avoid overheating or suffocation.

The newborn baby has the protection of close-fitting pajamas and is wrapped in a quilt, which makes him feel safe and warm. At this time, the mother can cover the baby with a quilt below the chest, and the baby will definitely be very warm. According to the weather conditions, mothers can adjust the thickness of the quilt to ensure the baby's comfortable sleep.

Newborn sleep time

Sleep is an indispensable part of everyone's normal life. Good sleep can adjust the body condition, eliminate fatigue, benefit the body's metabolism, and promote growth and development. However, the sleep time requirements are different at each age.

There is a lot of individual variability in how much sleep each child needs. For example, some babies can sleep for a long time at a time, while others are very energetic and don't want to sleep for a long time; premature babies need to sleep longer because they are less mature than full-term babies. Generally speaking, as the baby gets older, the sleep time will become shorter. Newborn babies sleep about 20 hours a day. A 2-month-old baby sleeps about 18 hours a day, a 4-month-old baby sleeps about 16 hours a day, a 9-month-old baby sleeps about 15 hours a day, and a 1-year-old baby only needs 13 to 14 hours a day.

In fact, parents do not have to strictly follow what is written in the books to limit their children's sleep time. If the child eats well, is relatively happy, and does not feel listless every day, then there is no need to worry too much even if the sleep time does not meet the general requirements.
