This article is also available in Italian.
If we establish a routine, we can better understand the desires of our child, especially when he's hungry or sleep, in reality the two are linked, and often misunderstood.We can make a diagram of how much should a newborn sleep, according to age:
- 0-3 months: 16-20 hours a day with naps of 1 hour every 3 hours. The night 5-6 hours.
- 3-6 months: 15-18 hours a day, with 3-4 naps of 2-3 hours each. The night 8-10 hours.
- 6-12 months: 15-18 hours per day up to 18 months. During the day, from 1 to 3 hours in two naps. 10-12 hours at night.
- 1-2.5 YEARS: during the day, from 1 to 3 hours in a single nap. At night 11-12 hours.
So we'll try to catch every signal in order to be able to put him to bed at the right time, otherwise, as it also happens to adults, if we are too tired, can not sleep.
