How much sleep is usually enough for an infant? How does the amount of sleep per day change as he gets older in months? 1, how long does a small baby sleep every day ps: this table is for reference only (the slight difference in specific sleep time is related to the baby’s personal situation) Each baby’s daily sleep time is different, in general, newborn babies need to sleep about 16-20 hours a day, with about the same amount of time for daytime and nighttime sleep. As the baby grows older, the sleep time gradually decreases and the sleep time at night becomes longer. 1-3 months: the average sleep time is 15 hours per day, 44% of babies at 2 months sleep for 5-6 hours at night and wake up for longer periods during the day. 6 months old: the average sleep time is 14 hours per day, babies at this age sleep for longer periods at night and sleep for 6 hours. 1 year old baby: the average daily sleep of 13-15 hours, night sleep until dawn, the daytime waking time is long, but there will be a fixed 2-3 naps 2, all stages of baby sleep considerations a.
