What to do if a 1-year-old baby sleeps late
Babies also have a biological clock. Mothers and fathers can deliberately use artificial light sources to promote the baby's biological clock to be roughly consistent with that of adults, allowing the baby to gradually have a consciousness of the difference between waking up and sleeping at night and during the day. When the baby should wake up in the morning, place the baby in a well lit place, preferably with plenty of sunlight, then give the baby a hug and slowly wake him up with gentle music.
When the baby starts preparing for sleep, dim the indoor light and turn off all the lights when the baby should be sleeping, leaving only a small night light. Close the door tightly and don't let the light and noise affect the baby's sleep. Curtains should be thick to avoid low light outside the window. Baby night lights, it's best to choose blue ones.
How many hours does a one year old baby sleep in a day
Generally speaking, a one year old baby will sleep for ten to twelve hours every night and another one to two hours during the day. Some children have high energy levels and sleep for eight hours at night, and also sleep for about three hours intermittently during the day. Some children may sleep for more time, possibly up to ten hours or even more at night, and an additional three to four hours during the day.
What should I do if a 1-year-old baby sleeps late? To adjust the baby's sleep habits, parents also need to adjust their own sleep habits. The baby's sleep habits are often developed by parents. If the baby stays up too late at night, they can gradually adjust their nap time and adjust the bedroom environment at night to a suitable temperature. A dark and quiet environment is more conducive to the baby's sleep.
