Question
The 7-month-old girl baby has shorter daytime sleep periods. She falls asleep around 10 PM and wakes up to drink milk once between 3 AM and 6 AM. She wakes up around 7 AM. During the day, she takes short naps of about half an hour around 10 AM and 2 PM. I want to know how to get her to sleep longer and how many hours a baby of this age should sleep each day?
Answer
The baby’s sleep duration falls within the normal range, and there is no need to increase the sleep time excessively; just ensure the child is energetic. Suggestions for improving sleep include maintaining good eating habits, and if there are any doubts, focus on consulting about digestive issues.
