Olive slept a lot at that age. Up to 14 hours!

Now she is 2 and gets 11-12 hours at night, and we usually have to wake her from her naps after 3+ hours. It is great to have a high sleep needs child.

@googly-eyes: I am being 100% honest when I tell you that he never wakes up (or needs us, at least), even when he is teething or sick. I can count on one hand the number of times we have had to go into his room in the middle of the night since he was 6/7 months and they were for 30 seconds to give him his lovey.

We just traveled back home (2-hr time zone change) for 2 weeks for the holidays. My LO had to sleep in 4 different places (i.e. 4 different playpens) and we had zero sleep issues. He's pretty awesome!! We are very consistent with routines...but he is a super independent sleeper and he really loves his lovey (which comes everywhere with us when we travel!).

@Mrs Green Grass: Must have been the weekend for long sleeps! D slept 13+ hours Friday and 14+ hours Saturday night! Maybe our 11.5-month-olds are hitting a spurt or developmental milestone!

Typically he sleeps 10-10.5 hours during the week, but only because I HAVE to get him up. On the weekends he usually sleeps about 12 hours.

@littlebug: I've been thinking the same thing! L has been getting 16 hours a day lately. I feel like she's always sleeping.

@Sammyfab: no wake ups here. LO night weaned at 12 weeks. luck of the draw I guess.

dd (13.5 months) typically sleeps 11-11.5 hours a night and has 2 - 1.5/2 hr naps a day. i am def one of those moms who needs a lot of sleep too. right now i sleep 8-9 hrs a night and i still wake up super tired.

@Sammyfab: i'm glad that your lo doesn't have issues sleeping while traveling! we're going on our first vacation (a cruise) in a week and i'm scared! but LO is a super consistent sleeper. doesn't cry/fuss when put down and has only woken up in the middle of the night a handful of times since 8 weeks old. so i'm hoping she doesn't have issues on our vacation! still scared tho!

@kodybear: Awww...she'll do great!! Cruises are hard though because the rooms are so small. When we travel and have to share a hotel room, I rig the furniture and use our portable blackout blind to create a little room for my LO.

I'm tempted to take screenshots.

My almost 14 mo doesn't nap well at daycare so he usually makes up for it on the weekends. He will normally sleep for 12 hours during the week (I have to wake him for daycare) and 13 hours on the weekends. Although, he gave us 14 hours on Sunday!!! He will also take naps that total about 3-4 hours. However, he is at home with DH today due to the entire state shutting down for the polar vortex and isn't sleeping much. He caught up!
