From the first day of being a mother, many women wish they could stay up 24 hours a day staring at their children without sleeping. The amount of milk the child has eaten, the amount of poop they have pulled, and the number of hiccups they have burped are all recorded clearly, and the child becomes worried after sleeping for a long time. So, how long does a newborn sleep 24 days a day?
How long does a newborn sleep 24 days a day
Under normal circumstances, newborns spend most of their time sleeping except for feeding and defecating every day. Due to the shallow sleep of newborns, they are more likely to be awakened. When mothers see their children sleeping and waking up, they don't have to worry, as this is a normal phenomenon. Newborns who are 24 days old should maintain a sleep duration of approximately 13 to 18 hours per day, with each sleep session lasting around 2 to 3 hours.
How to ensure sleep for newborns
1. Take protective measures. Newborns are just born and their bodies are very fragile in all aspects. Many parents choose wooden baby beds for their babies. At this point, it is necessary to install guardrails and soft cushions around the bed, and try to choose a pure cotton mattress with good breathability. Prevent babies from falling or bumping.
2. Keep the environment quiet. Newborns have shallow sleep and are prone to waking up easily. When their babies are sleeping, parents should try not to let others disturb them. Frequent waking up can have a significant impact on the newborn's mental and physical health.
3. Ensure sufficient milk supply. Many babies do not sleep and often cry because they are hungry. Mothers should breastfeed their children in a timely manner to ensure they are fully fed, so that they can sleep soundly.
