Question

My baby is now 6 months old and I'm confused about her sleep schedule. Some days she sleeps a lot, other days not so much. How much sleep does a 6-month-old need daily?

Aditya Rao · Accepted Answer

Most baby tracking apps and health guidelines suggest a 6-month-old needs 12-16 hours of sleep in a 24-hour cycle, including naps. Consistent wake and sleep times, and a dark room, can really help them consolidate sleep, as I've seen with friends' babies.

Ho na, 6 mahine ke bacche ko toh bahut neend chahiye. Lagbhag 12-16 ghante total. Din mein bhi chhota-chhota nap lete hain, haan na? Make sure unka room shant ho.

6 mahine ka bachcha hai, usko toh 12 se 16 ghante neend chahiye. Thoda raat mein, thoda din mein. Maa ko bhi aram mil jata hai tab. Godh mein lekar lori suna do, jaldi so jayega.
