How much sleep does a 7 and a half month old baby need?

Experienced mothers know that babies need to eat well and sleep well to grow. Sleep is very important for babies. Babies at different stages have different sleep times. Normally, a seven-month-old baby sleeps about 15 hours a day. It is best to take a nap in the morning and in the afternoon. If the baby cries and does not sleep well, parents should take the child to the hospital for examination in time.

What is the sleep schedule for 7 month old babies?

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 your baby is "playful", you must ensure that the child has 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.

What are some tips for helping your 7-month-old baby sleep?

1. Observe and find the sleep signals sent by the baby. When the baby is sleepy, he will have certain movements, such as rubbing eyes, unfocused eyes, yawning, etc. When you see these signals, stop teasing her, change her diaper quickly, and prepare to coax her to sleep. If you miss your child's sleep signal and continue to let her play, she will easily have difficulty falling asleep, and the more sleepy she is, the more excited she will be.

2. The lighting in the sleeping room should be dimmed and relatively quiet. The key to getting the baby to sleep is to calm her down. Soft lighting before bed can help soothe her. There is no need to dim the light deliberately when sleeping during the day, but try to turn off the lights at night. In a dark environment, you can sleep better. Some mothers need to breastfeed at night and keep the lights on all night, which can easily wake the baby up at night.

3. Tips to prevent her from falling asleep due to breastfeeding: 1. Let her not wear too thick clothes; 2. The mother can interact with her during the feeding process, such as pinching her ears, touching her hands, or moving the nipple. These little interactions will remind her not to fall asleep while feeding.

4. You don’t have to be held while sleeping, but there must be close physical contact. The reason why babies like to be held while sleeping is that the warm embrace and contact with people make them feel safe. Similarly, if her mother hugs or caresses her gently and there is a certain amount of physical contact, she will also feel safe.

5. Increase the amount of activity your child does during the day and reduce the time they sleep during the day. Practice lying on your stomach, passive exercises, playing with toys, taking a bath, and massage. The baby's daytime programs can also be rich and colorful. You can play for a while longer, increase the amount of activity, and reduce the time you sleep during the day, especially the sleep time in the evening, which will help improve the quality of sleep at night.
