As babies grow older, their sleeping time will also decrease compared to before. Many babies may not be able to control their sleep patterns by the age of three, and parents may not know how long they should sleep each day, which is considered normal and beneficial for their health and growth. So, how many hours does a three-year-old baby sleep every day?
Firstly, a three-year-old baby should sleep for about 12 hours a day, usually around 10 hours at night and one or two hours at noon during the day. Parents should pay attention that their babies should not sleep too much during the day. If they sleep too much, they may become more excited at night and find it difficult to fall asleep, causing a reversal of day and night. Parents need to help their babies correct this situation in a timely manner.
Secondly, a three-year-old baby may be mischievous and unwilling to sleep. At this time, parents must pay attention and help the baby correct themselves, so that the three-year-old baby can ensure sufficient sleep. If the baby has good sleep, it can improve their memory, concentration, and energy levels. Once a three-year-old baby experiences sleep deprivation, it may affect their physical growth and development.
In addition, three-year-old babies should try to develop the habit of going to bed before 9 o'clock. If the baby doesn't like to sleep at night, they can drink some milk before bedtime. And it should be noted that before going to bed, the baby should not be in an overly excited state, and should not play or frolic with the baby. You can tell some stories or sing some nursery rhymes to help the baby sleep.
