Patient's question:
My baby is now three and a half months old. Previously, she would play for three or four hours every time she woke up during the day. Recently, she loves taking naps during the day and usually falls asleep after playing for an hour or so. Each nap lasts about three or four hours. At night, she sleeps from around 11 p.m. to 8 a.m., waking up twice in between, and this pattern hasn't changed much.What kind of help is needed: Hello, what could be the reason for her taking more naps during the day?
Doctor's answer:
1-3 months old infants should sleep about 18 hours a day, with 4 daytime naps of 1.5-2 hours each. At night, they should sleep for 10-11 hours. This means that, apart from feeding, changing diapers, and playing for a while, most of their time is spent napping. So, it's perfectly normal for your baby to nap like this, and there's no need to worry!The above advice is for the question "What causes excessive napping?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
