How long does a 38-day-old baby sleep in a day?

A 38-day-old baby, that is, a baby who has just finished the confinement period, is still very delicate. Parents will find that the baby spends most of the day sleeping. This is a very normal phenomenon. Don’t think that the baby has intellectual problems because he sleeps a lot. Babies of this age need to sleep for a long time. If they sleep less, it will be harmful. So how many hours should the baby sleep a day at this time?

38-day-old baby's daily sleep time:

The normal sleep of the baby at 38 days old should be about 18-20 hours. The baby now does not sleep all the time like in the confinement period. He also plays for a while. Some babies sleep less during the day, but it is good as long as the baby sleeps soundly at night.

The baby is just over a month old and should sleep about eighteen hours a day. In fact, the younger the child, the faster the brain develops and the more sleep he or she needs. Generally, children have two types of sleep: deep sleep and light sleep. When they are young, they spend relatively more time in light sleep. For example, a newborn baby has a sleep cycle of about 45 minutes, half of the time is in light sleep and the other half is in deep sleep.

Generally, babies of this size sleep about 18 to 20 hours. However, there are individual differences in baby development, and it is normal for babies to sleep a little more or a little less. As long as the baby does not show any mental abnormalities, there is nothing to worry about.

Babies who have just turned one month old need to sleep nearly 20 hours a day. Infants and young children grow up slowly while sleeping. When the baby wants to sleep, the mother should try to let the baby sleep quietly. However, if the baby's normal sleeping time is reversed, the mother must control the baby's daytime sleep and let the baby sleep well after adjusting.

The average neonatal sleep time is 18 hours per day (range 16 to 20 hours). Newborns spend most of their time sleeping, waking up every 2 to 4 hours to feed and staying awake with their eyes open for several minutes to an hour. Their circadian rhythm has not yet been established. As your baby gets older, his sleep will gradually decrease.

Generally speaking, newborns sleep 18-20 hours a day, babies aged 2-3 months sleep 16-18 hours a day, babies aged 4-9 months sleep 15-16 hours a day, and after one year old sleep 14-15 hours a day. However, there are individual differences in sleep time. As long as the baby is in good spirits and gaining weight normally, there is no need to worry.
