19-Month-Old Baby Sleep

One of the sweetest moments in a parent's life is watching a 19-month-old little angel sleep peacefully. At this age, babies generally need 12-14 hours of sleep per day. However, each child's sleep pattern varies; some may shorten their daytime naps, while others may extend their nighttime sleep. It's important for parents to observe their baby's sleep pattern and establish a routine that suits them. For a comfortable night's sleep, a soothing bath or gentle massage before bed can invite babies into deep sleep.

Parents can accustom their baby to dental care by gently cleaning their teeth with a soft brush.

A healthy diet and regular physical activities help maintain a healthy weight for babies.
