Question
A 7-month-old female infant falls asleep around 10 PM, wakes up to drink milk between 3 AM and 6 AM, and wakes up around 7 AM in the morning. During the day, she sleeps for about half an hour around 10 AM and 2 PM. The inquiry is whether this situation indicates insufficient sleep and for other suggestions to increase sleep time.
Answer
The sleep hours of this female infant are considered normal, and there is no need to overly emphasize increasing sleep time as long as the child’s mental state is good. For such a situation, it is recommended to pay attention to the following aspects:
- The child’s sleep time is approximately 10 hours, which falls within the normal range.
- Maintain good eating habits. If there are any doubts, focus on consultations related to digestion.
