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 Children (6-13 years): 9-11 hours And every one of those hours spent sawing logs matters. Studies show that when kids are short on sleep, they’re at risk of “a wide range of negative physical, social, emotional, and cognitive outcomes2,” from poor concentration to obesity to injuries. Not only does optimal sleep help our kiddos maintain a good mood3, but it also plays a huge role in brain development4—including memory and emotional control. For extra support, check out the Kids Trundle Bed Frame by Avocado Green Mattress, made with sustainable 100% American-grown beech. It provides the much-needed under-bed storage for toys and books so that your little one’s room feels clean and calm. Add the plush Organic Toddler Pillow on top, filled with organic materials, and your kiddo has the sleep sanctuary they deserve. Devon’s first book, Earth Women, is coming soon.
