Hi,
Today i am talking about how a baby need sleep for his/her good health.So let's start........
Your baby won't take all her sleep in one long stretch, even at night. At first she'll need to wake up for feeds. From when she's newborn to when she's three months old, your baby will sleep in sleep-wake cycles through the day, with longer spells at night.
The length of these sleep cycles depends on your baby. She will probably sleep for blocks of about two hours in the day, and four hours to six hours at night. Some babies sleep through the night within weeks, while others take a year or more to achieve this.
As your baby grows, she will gradually wake for longer spells. By the time she is two, your toddler will sleep for about 13 hours over 24 hours, with only one daytime nap of about one hour 30 minutes.
Identical twins have very similar sleeping patterns, but non-identical (fraternal) twins are less similar. Sleep patterns often run in families, but a bedtime routine will help your little one to develop her own good sleep habits.
Between light sleep and deep sleep is a stage called quiet sleep (NREM), during which dreams can also happen. In older children nightmares and sleepwalking often occur in quiet sleep. Though this quiet, non-dream sleep is well formed in newborns, it occurs in shorter bursts than it does in adults.
Babies and adults move through this sleep cycle about five times a night. Your newborn baby's sleep cycle is between 50 minutes and an hour long. This will probably increase once she's three months to the adult amount of one hour 30 minutes.

How much sleep does my baby need?
Your baby needs a lot more sleep than you do. Over a 24-hour period, the average newborn sleeps for 16 hours. Even at three months, your baby will need to sleep for about 15 hours over the course of 24 hours.Your baby won't take all her sleep in one long stretch, even at night.

What happens when my baby's asleep?
Like you, your baby goes through cycles of types of sleep, from drowsiness to light sleep, then deep sleep followed by dream sleep (REM). She'll come back up again through deep sleep and light sleep to the surface, before going down again.Between light sleep and deep sleep is a stage called quiet sleep (NREM), during which dreams can also happen. In older children nightmares and sleepwalking often occur in quiet sleep. Though this quiet, non-dream sleep is well formed in newborns, it occurs in shorter bursts than it does in adults.

Could one simple habit increase the risk of your baby waking up in the middle of the night......by 87%? “It’s like setting a midnight fire alarm in his brain”, one study revealed
The worst part is that you keep doing it ……it’s part of your routine……and yet it’s wrecking your little one’s sleep
