bed?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The golden question asked by parents up and down the country has several different answers, depending on who you ask.<\/p>\n<p>But many agree that regular bedtime routines should be introduced when your little ones are around 4 months old.<\/p>\n<p>Sleepsisters.com released their thoughts in a guide, which suggested:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Newborns (up to three months): the babies don&#x27;t need a bedtime and instead typically sleep in short bursts of two hours throughout the day and night<\/li>\n<li>1-4 months: 8-11pm &#8211; as the babies are still feeding regularly, this is the recommended time frame to put them down<\/li>\n<li>4-8 months: 5.30-7.30pm &#8211; In addition to regular naps, an earlier bedtime can help babies get the sleep they need to develop<\/li>\n<li>8-10 months: 5.30-7pm &#8211; Sleep Sisters say that bedtime should be no later than 3.5 hours after their second nap, whereas the time frame is slightly earlier as they&#x27;re likely to have cut out their third nap<\/li>\n<li>10-15 months: 6-7.30pm &#8211; As babies are probably cutting down on naps, it&#x27;s important to bring their bedtime earlier, however, it&#x27;s important to note that bedtime should be no later than 4 hours after a nap<\/li>\n<li>15 months &#8211; 3 years: 6-7.30pm &#8211;\u00a0 Once naps have stopped completely, bedtime should be brought forward<\/li>\n<li>3-6 years: 6-8pm &#8211; With children no longer napping, they&#x27;ll need an extra hour of sleep a night<\/li>\n<li>7-12 years: 7.30-9pm &#8211; Now your little one is at school, sleep is all the more important<\/li>\n<li>Teenagers: 9+ &#8211; When it comes to teens, it&#x27;s a different ball game and the experts say you should count backwards from the time they need to be up to ensure they&#x27;re getting what&#x27;s required for their age bracket<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>MOST READ IN FABULOUS<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

small.<\/p>\n<p>Every child needs a different amount of sleep, depending on their age group.<\/p>\n<p>Cleveland Heath Clinic suggests the following schedule for newborns, children and teenagers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Newborns (up to three months): 14 to 17 hours<\/li>\n<li>Infants (four to 11 months): 12 to 15 hours<\/li>\n<li>Toddlers (one to two): 11 to 14 hours<\/li>\n<li>Pre-schoolers (three to five): 10 to 13 hours<\/li>\n<li>School-age (six to 13): 9 to 11 hours<\/li>\n<li>Tweens and Teens (14 to 17): 8 to 10 hours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Bedtime sleep chart by age<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>According to the sleep chart shared by people like teacher Stacy Karlsen, children&#x27;s sleep patterns should all depend on the age of your child, plus the time they get up in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the chart states that children aged five should go to bed from 6.45pm to 8.15pm.<\/p>\n<p>If your five-year-old gets up at 6.30am, they&#x27;ll be ready to go to sleep at 7.15pm.<\/p>\n<p>But if they were up at the slightly later 7am, they&#x27;ll be ready to nod off at 7.30 in the evening.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, an eight-year-old who gets up at 6.45am in the morning will be ready to go to sleep at 8.15pm, the same aged child who woke later, at 7.30am, won&#x27;t be ready for bed until 9pm.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, kids aged 11 and 12 should be asleep anytime from 8.15pm to 9.45pm.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"
