Working Principle

The calculator uses a simple formula to estimate the sleep duration of a baby based on their age in months. The formula is:

Sleep Duration (hours) = 12 + (Age in Months * 0.5)

This formula is based on the general observation that babies need more sleep as they grow older. At birth, babies sleep around 12 hours a day, and this amount increases by approximately 0.5 hours for each month of age.
