Question

How many hours should a 5-month-old baby sleep each day?

Answer

Generally, a 5-month-old baby sleeps around 10 hours a day. However, due to the rapid growth and development of infants, calcium deficiency may occur sometimes, which can affect their sleep. To help the baby get enough calcium, consider feeding them cod liver oil or betacarotene, and also allow them to take oral calcium gluconate while getting appropriate sunlight exposure to promote calcium absorption. Additionally, feeding the baby some egg yolk paste can also help increase the calcium content in their food. Calcium supplementation is a process that takes time, and we hope the baby will grow up healthy.
