This is because during sleep, brain cells and aspects of child development will grow rapidly. Not only during nighttime sleep but also during daytime sleep.

Some children are very easy to take a nap, but there are also those who are the opposite, so difficult when persuaded to sleep. Actually, how important is nap for babies and children?

"Napping during infancy and early childhood is important for protecting the formation of new learning and memories in the brain. As the part of the brain that consolidates memories and time develops, there are fewer opportunities needed to process and protect these new memories, which means less nap time as the baby grows older," said Nichole Levy, a child sleep consultant."

Infants do sleep a lot

According to Harvey Karp, FAAP, a pediatrician, babies are not designed to stay awake for long periods of time.

The translation of the given text from 'Bahasa' to 'English' while preserving any html tags is: "Babies learn and develop so much in the early months, weeks, and years, so their little bodies and brains need daytime naps to boost their immune system. "This includes processing new skills and experiences, consolidating memories, enhancing motor development, vocabulary, attention, and mood," said Karp."

According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, babies aged between 4 and 12 months should sleep between 12 and 16 hours each day to achieve optimal health.

Besides, a baby's overall health depends on sleep, which provides time for their little body to recover energy. "Sleep is good for brain development, allowing them to assimilate all the exposure and learning that occurs while awake," said Denise Scott, MD, a pediatrician.

"Guidelines for Baby's Nap Duration, Based on Age"

The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags is as follows: "The amount of time it takes for a baby to sleep varies depending on their age. To determine how long a baby should nap, here are some guidelines divided by age."

Age 1 to 3 Months

A newborn baby aged between 1 and 3 months needs around four to seven hours of daytime sleep per day. It is important to remember that newborn babies sleep a lot during the day.

Age 1 to 3 Months

"\u201cNewborn babies often sleep during the day, some for a short time and some for a long time. The focus of a newborn baby's daytime sleep is to shorten their waking time and make them sleep more," said Levy."

Age 4 to 6 Months

"At the age of 4 months, babies are usually able to follow a routine of taking three naps during the day. In terms of hours, babies within this age range should ideally have four to five hours of daytime sleep per day."

Age 4 to 6 Months

"Two naps today will be longer, a restorative nap, while the last nap is a bridge to bedtime," said Levy.

Age 7 to 9 Months According to Levy, usually at around 8 months old, babies need a nap time of about three to four hours every day. Age 1 to 2 Years Nap time decreases as the baby grows older. At this age, babies generally take a nap of about two to three hours per day during one nap time. Source: Parents.com
