Child Sleep Schedules: Age-Based Sleep Needs & Guidelines

The amount of sleep a child needs varies depending on their age. Here are some average ranges:

- Newborns (0-3 months): 14-17 hours per day

- Infants (4-11 months): 12-15 hours per day

- Toddlers (1-3 years): 11-14 hours per day

- Preschoolers (3-5 years): 10-13 hours per day

- School-aged children (6-12 years): 9-12 hours per day

- Teenagers (13-18 years): 8-10 hours per day

It's important to note that these are just averages, and some children may need more or less sleep. If you're concerned about your child's sleep, talk to your doctor.
