Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child. I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will become worse. How many hours do infants and toddlers sleep on average per day?Doctor's answer:
According to a person's age and their own physical condition, the amount of sleep a person needs is also somewhat different. However, basically, except for newborn babies, infants generally sleep for 16 to 18 hours. If a child is affected by neonatal diseases, family members must take the child to a doctor for timely medical treatment to avoid blindly using medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to closely observe changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
