POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy7 months agoA. For a child, especially around 1 year old, sleeping 6-7 hours a day, including naps, may be a bit on the lower side. Generally, children this age need about 12-14 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period, which includes both nighttime sleep and daytime naps.
If your child is sleeping less than that and seems to be active and happy during the day, it might not be an immediate cause for concern. However, if your child seems overly tired, cranky, or is having trouble staying awake during the day, it might be worth looking into their sleep routine.
Here are a few things to consider:
Sleep Environment: Ensure the sleeping area is calm, comfortable, and free from distractions like noise or light. Consistent Sleep Schedule: Try to maintain a consistent bedtime routine to help signal that it's time for sleep. Physical and Mental Activity: Ensure that your baby is not overstimulated or overtired by activities during the day, which might affect sleep.
If you're concerned, especially if your child is showing signs of sleep deprivation (e.g., irritability, difficulty waking up), it may be a good idea to consult with your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues.
