How much sleep does my child need?
Approximate daily sleep needs including naps: newborns 14–17 hours, infants 4–12 months 12–16 hours, toddlers 1–2 years 11–14 hours, preschoolers 3–5 years 10–13 hours, school-age 6–12 years 9–12 hours, and teens 8–10 hours. Consistent bedtimes matter as much as totals — and persistent snoring is never just a habit.

Understanding
Why Children Don't Sleep
Sleep associations — a child rocked or fed to sleep needs the same to resume sleep at every natural night waking
No consistent routine — bodies sleep on schedules, and chaos breeds wakings
Screens before bed — light and stimulation that measurably delay sleep onset
Late or missed naps creating an overtired, wired child by night
Enlarged adenoids/tonsils causing snoring and fragmented sleep
Normal development — separation anxiety, nightmares and night terrors each have their age and their (different) correct response
Our approach
How We Care for Your Child at Siraa Health
Diagnose the sleep, not just the waking
A one-week sleep diary plus history separates habit wakings from medical ones — and tells us which of the very different solutions applies.
Rule out the medical
Snoring, reflux, eczema itch, iron deficiency and breathing issues all masquerade as 'bad sleep habits'. We check before we train.
A method that fits your family
From gradual retreat to scheduled fading — evidence-based approaches matched to your child's age and your family's comfort. No one-size lectures.
Support through the hard week
The first nights are the hardest. You get a written plan, troubleshooting for the 2 a.m. moments, and a review to adjust course.
Evidence-based care
Every decision guided by the latest pediatric science

Sleep Hygiene That Actually Works
Parent stories
What families say
“Our son was not saying a single word at 2.5. Within four months at Siraa he was putting two and three words together. The parent coaching made the biggest difference.”
Priya M.
DLF Phase 4
“We were told to wait and see. We did not, and I am so glad. The therapist identified exactly what was holding him back. Six months later he is chatting non-stop.”
Rahul K.
Sohna Road
“What sets Siraa apart is that they treat you as a partner, not just a parent dropping off a child. Every session I left feeling more capable and less worried.”

Questions
What parents usually ask us
Is sleep training safe? Will crying harm my baby?+
Structured, age-appropriate sleep training (generally from 4–6 months) is well studied: no evidence of harm to attachment or emotional health, and clear benefits to infant and parental sleep and mood. Methods range from very gradual to faster — you choose the pace you can be consistent with.
My toddler snores every night. Is that normal?+
Occasional snoring with colds is normal; loud snoring most nights is not. Persistent snoring — especially with pauses, gasps, mouth breathing or restless sleep — suggests enlarged adenoids or tonsils and deserves assessment, because fragmented sleep affects behaviour, learning and growth.
What's the difference between nightmares and night terrors?+
Nightmares happen in the second half of the night; the child wakes scared, remembers, and wants comfort. Night terrors happen in the first hours: the child screams and thrashes but isn't truly awake and remembers nothing. For terrors, keep them safe and don't wake them — they're distressing to watch but harmless and outgrown.
My baby wakes every 2 hours at 8 months. Is that hunger?+
At 8 months, a healthy, growing baby waking every 2 hours is usually resettling habit, not hunger — especially if each waking needs feeding or rocking to end. Brief night wakings are universal; independent resettling is the learnable skill that turns them invisible.
