Children of all ages need to get enough sleep so they can play, learn and concentrate during the day. Also, sleep patterns change as babies and children get older.
For example, as babies grow, they begin to sleep less during the day and more at night. And children generally need less sleep as they grow older. Newborns Newborns sleep on and off during the day and night. They sleep for hours every 24 hours. They have two different kinds of sleep — active sleep and quiet sleep.
In active sleep your baby moves around. You might see jerking, twitching or sucking. In quiet sleep your baby is still and breathing evenly. Newborns move through active and quiet sleep in cycles that last about minutes. They might wake up after a sleep cycle and need help getting back to sleep. Babies months By three months, babies start to develop night and day sleep patterns, and they tend to start sleeping more during the night.
Babies usually sleep for hours every 24 hours. At months, babies might start moving towards a pattern of daytime sleeps of up to two hours each. They might still wake at least once at night. Sleep during the night As babies develop, more of their sleep happens at night.

Preschooler sleep: what you need to know Children aged years need hours of sleep a night. Bedtime routine A positive bedtime routine can help preschoolers feel ready for sleep, especially if you follow the routine consistently, both during the week and on weekends.
A bedtime routine for preschoolers might look something like this: 7 pm : brush teeth, go to toilet, put on night nappy if needed. Try these tips: Avoid boisterous play as well as watching TV and using computers, phones or tablets close to bedtime. These activities can make it harder for your child to settle. Establish a consistent, calming bedtime routine.
Before leaving the room, check that your child has everything they need for sleep, like a favourite cuddly toy or blanket. Remind your child to stay quietly in bed. If your child gets out of bed, calmly ask them to go back to bed. Night terrors and nightmares Night terrors and nightmares are quite common among preschoolers.
