How much sleep does my child need?
-
Hello, my child is one month old. can anyone tell me how much sleep a child needs? I am 21 years old female. Studies have shown that kids who regularly get an adequate amount of sleep have improved attention, behavior, learning, memory, and overall mental and physical health. I am not sure how much sleep she needs. Please let me know in the comments. Thanks!!

@casey-0 Sleep is of paramount importance to young children. it’s normal for parents to want to make sure that their children, whether babies or young kids, get the sleep that they need. Babies spend the majority of their day sleeping. The normal amount of time that babies sleep depends on their age. newborns spend between 14 and 17 hours sleeping every day. Because of the need for feeding, this sleep is usually broken up into a number of shorter periods. While the bulk of total sleep happens at night, it’s rare for newborns to sleep through the night without waking up. Thanks!!
