WHAT IS NOT KNOWN ABOUT MIDDAY SLEEP IN INFANTS

Sleep is as important a detail as proper nutrition for the development of a baby. The brain development of a baby who sleeps at the right time intervals and at the right december of time is also supported.

Turkey Medicals – another sleep that is as important as a night’s sleep is a midday sleep. Sleep is a taught process. If you can educate your baby about this with the right methods, your baby has a structure that can sleep very comfortably both at noon and at night. There may be exceptions here, of course. We can exclude babies with health problems from this topic…

You may have heard some incorrect information about midday sleep. For example, a baby who sleeps at noon does not sleep at night, or he sleeps long at noon will sleep short at night. The opinion of experts is in the opposite direction: the longer they sleep, the longer their sleep duration. So a baby who sleeps a good night’s sleep at noon can also sleep a very good and uninterrupted night’s sleep.

All you have to do is to prepare the necessary conditions in the first place. A quiet and dim environment, a suitable room temperature, a comfortable bed create such conditions.

Experts note that a baby needs a midday nap until they are 4 years old. In studies conducted, it has been observed that a baby who gets a good midday sleep is more cheerful, more appetizing and harmonious.

So how many hours of sleep should a baby sleep at what age?

An average of 4 hours a day for up to 5 months.

An average of 3.5 hours a day for 6-8 months.

An average of 3 hours a day until the age of 1 year.

An average of 2.5 hours a day from 12-18 months.

An average of 2 hours a day until for the age of 4.
