How many sleep does a kid need?

It's not about how many "sleeps" a kid needs, but rather how much sleep they need.

The amount of sleep a child needs varies depending on their age. Here's a general guide:

* Newborns (0-3 months): 14-17 hours

* Infants (4-11 months): 12-15 hours

* Toddlers (1-2 years): 11-14 hours

* Preschoolers (3-5 years): 10-13 hours

* School-aged children (6-13 years): 9-11 hours

* Teenagers (14-17 years): 8-10 hours

Important considerations:

* Individual needs: Some children may naturally need more or less sleep than others.

* Sleep quality: It's not just about the quantity of sleep, but also the quality.

* Health conditions: Certain health conditions can affect a child's sleep needs.

If you have concerns about your child's sleep, it's always best to consult a healthcare professional.
