đ„± Sleep needs in the first months of life vary greatly.
âïž It can be completely normal for a small baby to sleep 9 hours over a 24-hour period, while others sleep 19 hours in total.
Average sleep need is thus 14-15 hours. âŒïžBUT this does not mean that babies must sleep 14-15 hours at least in order to thrive. 96% of babies sleep between 9-19 hours. đ Average simply means that there are babies who sleep more and there are others who sleep less.
đ¶And they are all normal thriving babies.
Average nightime sleep is around 8 hours and daytime sleep is around 6-7 hours. So, if you feel you’re baby is not sleeping at all during the day, it can be normal!
đ€ Babies tend to sleep in short bouts dozing off for 10-20 minutes in the arms of their caregiver.
