But this duration may vary for different children. There are some children who won’t sleep for the whole night for the first one month. This is not a disease or nothing is wrong with the baby.nothing can be done for this just allow your baby to do as he/she likes but they will change themselves after some days.. then we can make a good schedule for his sleep. The duration of sleep is perfect for your baby if he/she is not having any indigestion, comfortable with their feedings, no unnecessary quarrels etc... Usually babies will be sleeping from feed to feed for the first one or two months... they will control their sleep accordingly and will sleep on alternate feeds and like that. Another thing to note is that babies will themselves develops their timetable of wake and sleep and used to do like that everyday. From sixth month probably babies will cut one of their sleeps during day time. Good sleep is necessary for the healthy growth and development of brain.So please don't interrupt your baby's sleep.
The average two year old child should sleep for 10 hours in the night and a nap in the daytime. And for a one year old child it is 12 hours and a nap…
