How Much Sleep?
Babies need different amounts of sleep as they grow. Newborns typically sleep around 14–17 hours per day, while babies aged 4–12 months generally need 12–16 hours, including naps.
Recognizing Sleep Cues
Your baby may be tired when they rub their eyes, yawn, become irritable or become less active. Recognizing these signs can help you establish a suitable sleep routine.
Helping Your Baby Sleep Well
Create a calm and consistent bedtime routine. Always place your baby on their back to sleep on a firm, flat surface, keeping pillows, loose blankets and soft toys out of the sleep space.
