At this age, the total time when a child is sleeping,should be 12-13 hours. Daytime sleep is one, and it should last 1.5-2 hours. The rest of the time is at night.

The waking period should not exceed 6 hours in a row. Neglecting this rule can harm a child, his health and emotional state, he will become nervous, capricious, he will look tired or, conversely, too overexcited. If the child refuses to go to bed on time, does not comply with the regime, the reason may be age specificities:

  • The period of negation, when the child does not agree withevery word of parents. This is a natural stage of development, absolutely everyone passes it, and one needs patience. The more quietly you live this moment, the sooner it will end and the problem will disappear.
  • Interest in knowing the surrounding world, the ability to violate prohibitions or transgress boundaries. He wants to know what will happen if he does not follow the request of adults.
  • "I myself". The illusion of adulthood in a child makes him think that he can decide when to do what. Mom should calmly accept such independence, but confidently and persistently show the child that he can not solve certain issues.

If adults find an approach and accept the baby with its age-related changes, soon it will be possible to normalize sleep and enter into a regime.

Features of sleep

Well, if a child falls asleep in the afternoon in oneand the same time. Refuse daytime sleep is possible only when he is really ready for it. Otherwise, it will lead to fatigue and excessive load. If the child does not sleep all day, but he is cheerful and active all the time, does not act up and keeps an even emotional state, so you can not worry about daytime sleep. At night, he must fill all the energy spent and completely restore his strength - this should take 12 hours. With the worked out regime with daytime sleep - 11 hours. It is important that the baby wakes up in the morning itself. If he has to wake up in the kindergarten himself, it is necessary to change the time of packing to an earlier one.
