Answer

Generally, a baby within one month of age sleeps for about 20 hours a day. By two months, the baby’s deep sleep duration is shorter than that of a one-month-old, usually around 18 hours. During the day, the baby usually sleeps 3-4 times, with each nap lasting about 1.5-2 hours, and at night, they sleep for about 10-12 hours. After waking up from a nap during the day, they can continue to be active for about 1.5-2 hours. There is no fixed pattern for actual babies, as long as they are growing well, that is sufficient.
