In fact, it is not the case that the more a baby sleeps, the more energetic he will be or the better his intellectual development will be. The baby's nap time should not be too long, because it will be difficult for him to fall asleep at night. Mothers should pay attention to controlling their baby’s sleep time to allow the baby to get enough rest and grow up healthily. For example, when the baby is 2-3 months old, the mother lets the baby nap for 5 hours; when the baby is 4-6 months old, the mother lets the baby nap for 3 hours; when the baby is 1 year old, the mother lets the baby nap for 2 hours; when the baby is 2-3 years old, the mother lets the baby nap for 1 hour; above 3 years old, the baby's nap time is the same as adults, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

When the baby is taking a nap, the mother should pay attention to the indoor temperature. The baby can fall asleep more easily at a suitable temperature. The room temperature of 24-25 degrees is best, and the baby will feel refreshed. On the contrary, a hot environment will make the baby uncomfortable, sweat frequently, and wake up from the heat constantly. In addition to paying attention to the indoor temperature, mothers should also ensure that the room is quiet. The mother should move gently and speak softly when walking, and it is best to turn down the volume of the TV or computer to avoid disturbing the baby. The baby sleeps soundly and naturally sleeps longer. After the baby has had enough rest, the mother can wake the baby up at the appropriate time to help the baby develop good nap habits.

There are many benefits for babies to develop the habit of taking naps. If the baby has a good nap, he will be in good spirits and grow and develop quickly.

There are other benefits of napping for babies:

1. Improve memory. Taking a nap not only helps eliminate fatigue, but also enhances memory. The baby's nap time is appropriate, and his energy and spirit are better than not taking a nap, and his sensitivity to the outside world is also higher.

2. Improve immunity. Noon is the time when the human body is most tired, especially for babies. Take a nap, get enough rest, relieve fatigue, restore physical strength, and strengthen your resistance to disease. In addition, naps can enhance the activity of immune cells in the baby's body and strengthen the baby's immunity.

3. Protect the heart. Taking a nap every day can reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death by 37%, according to a study. Although this conclusion may not be reliable for babies, taking a nap can indeed relieve babies' tension, soothe their cardiovascular system, and protect their hearts.

4. Lower blood pressure. Babies with high blood pressure can lower their blood pressure by taking a nap. Babies have poor drug tolerance, so excessive medication is not advisable. Napping is an auxiliary method of treatment.

5. Drive away depression. Babies are emotionally unstable and easily get sad and cry over trivial matters. A nap can adjust the baby's state, change the baby's mood, and "drive away" depression.

6. Help digestion. The baby's digestive function is not yet fully developed, the digestive ability is poor, and it is easy to have food accumulation. Naps can help relieve the symptoms of food accumulation and aid digestion.
