Patient's question:
My daughter is seven and a half months old. She usually goes to sleep around 10 p.m., and she has one feeding in the middle (between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m., at irregular times, she cries when she wakes up). She usually wakes up around 7 a.m. During the day, she usually naps around 10 a.m. and around 2 p.m., each time for about half an hour.What kind of assistance I need: I've been thinking about it for a few times—does my daughter sleep too little? How many hours should a baby her age sleep each day? If she sleeps too little, are there any good methods to help her sleep a bit longer? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
I speculate that the reason for your situation might be as follows. Your child's sleep time is normal, and there is no need to let the child sleep excessively; as long as the child is energetic, that's fine. For this situation, the following points should be noted. Recommendations: 1. There is no problem with the child; under normal circumstances, it is approximately 10 hours. 2. Maintain a good dietary structure. If you have any concerns, you can focus on digestion and speaking.
