 HOW MUCH SLEEP DOES MY CHILD NEED?

Every child’s sleep need is unique and different from another child, and the sleep needs of a child change as they grow.

Most adults need 7–9 hours of sleep each night. Newborns, on the other hand, sleep between 16 and 18 hours a day, and children in preschool sleep between 11 and 12 hours a day. School-aged children and teens need at least 10 hours of sleep each night. 

Just as eating healthy and being active is important, so is getting a good night’s sleep vital to your child’s health and development.

Here are some tips to help your child sleep better at night.
