4-5 month old baby’s sleep schedule, just follow it

Since I became a mother, I have found that I have no time for myself. Let alone playing with my mobile phone, even going to the toilet has become a luxury. Either he is coaxing the baby to sleep, or he is on the way to coax the baby to sleep. It wasn’t until later that I learned that babies of different ages have fixed work and rest patterns. If you break away from this work and rest pattern and arrange your baby’s work and rest at will, you will not only exhaust yourself, but also cause pain to your baby. So, what is the ideal schedule for babies of different ages? Ideal schedule for 0-3 months: 07:00: Drink milk after waking up 08:30-10:00: Morning nap 11:30-13:00: Afternoon nap 14:30-16:00: Nap 17:00 -17:45: Dusk nap 19:30: Arrange 2-3 night feedings after falling asleep. Note: The recommended daily sleep duration is 14-17 hours, feeding approximately once every 3 hours, and arranging a total of 4 naps during the day. . Within 1 month, the baby basically eats, sleeps and eats, and can take as many as 5-7 naps during the day. The schedule is ideal. If it is difficult for babies who sleep short, you can try to increase the number of naps. If your parents get off work late, you can extend the schedule by 1 hour.

If your baby\’s schedule has been accepted by herself and her family, then it\’s completely ok and you can just continue to follow it. If the baby\’s schedule is very chaotic, which seriously affects the baby\’s condition and the life of the family, then this ideal schedule can provide you with a reference and inspiration: Oh, it turns out that the baby can go to bed so early at night. Oh, it turns out that babies don’t need to go to bed so early at noon. Oh, it turns out that the baby only needs this little time to sleep in the evening. If the baby cannot go to bed so early in the evening due to external reasons, such as parents getting off work late, then the schedule can be postponed by 1 hour.
