Patient's question:
How much sleep should the baby get every day? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to get better? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Our baby is already four and a half months old. According to my calculation, it sleeps for about an hour around 8 a.m., starts sleeping again from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., sleeps for an hour at 3 p.m., and sleeps for 10 hours from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., so it sleeps for about 13 hours in total. Sleep is just like eating and drinking—it is a part of our lives, and good sleep habits are very important for babies. When the baby is in deep sleep, the brain stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete a large amount of growth hormone, promoting the growth of growth plates and cartilage tissue.
