Good sleep has great benefits!

Sleep is like magic for babies and children! It:

• Restores Energy: Sleep helps kids feel strong and ready for the day ahead. It's like recharging their batteries!
• Boosts Learning: When babies and children sleep, their brains get supercharged, helping them remember things better and learn new stuff faster.
• Keeps Them Healthy: Sleep makes their bodies strong and helps fight off germs and illness. It's like putting on a superhero suit for their immune system!
• Helps Them Grow: Did you know that children grow when they sleep? It's true! Their bodies make a special growth hormone while they snooze.

Children Need Different Sleep at Different Ages:

• Babies need lots of sleep because they're growing super-fast.
• As children get older, they need a bit less sleep, but it's still super important.
• Sleep changes as kids grow too! Babies sleep a lot during the day, but as they get bigger, they snooze more at night like grown-ups.

How much sleep?  At Raisingchildren.net.au we learn that:

• Newborns sleep on and off during the day and night. They sleep for 14-17 hours in every 24 hours.
