Usually around 10 hours at 8 months!

charlie slept 10 hours at night for a very long time and woke up at 5:30am. Now he sleeps around 10-11 hours at night (but has a later bedtime), but we can usually count on a monster nap.

olive is 11 months old (tomorrow!), and sleeps 13 hours at night lately.

C is 5 months and gets 13-14 hours. She normally sleeps about 10-11 hours, wakes up to eat and then goes down for another few hours.

I was reading in one of my sleep books that babies at our babies' our age only *need* 10 hours of sleep at night and 4.5 hours of sleep during the day. My LO never sleeps more than 11 at night, usually closer to 10. Every baby is different!

I put my LO down at 7 (or a bit earlier if she is really tired), do a dreamfeed and diaper at 11, another feed and diaper when she wakes around 3, and she is up at 7. So she is in her bed for 12 hours unless she is really tired. She will be 11 weeks Thursday.

@winniebee: it is just a general overview of infant sleep (not a sleep training book or any book that has a specific solution). It is called "great expectations, guide to infant sleep." Or something close to that? I didn't want anything biased and this book is perfect for that!

DD sleeps for 11 or 12 hours a night. She is 4 months old

He is 3 months (maybe 3.5?) and sleeps about 7 hours with 2 wake ups (usually 4-5 hours, then 1.5 hours, then 1.5 hours.
We're working on it--it has been rough!
Every once in awhile he will only sleep ONE stretch (no wake ups) and will not go back to sleep. Usually then the stretch is 5 to 7.5 hours.

LO will be 4 months on Saturday and she usually sleeps from 8-6:30/7 without waking. She takes 2-3 really good naps during the day.

DD will be 11 weeks on Thursday and she now sleeps for 8 - 9 hrs straight at night with no wake ups. She is always awake for a feed at 6:00 a.m. though, so if she's gone to bed at 8 pm and wakes for a feed at 4:30, she'll still wake up again at 6:00 for another feed. I'm contemplating trying to push her bedtime back to 10 pm but don't want to stuff up the good thing we have going now!!

She does take some good naps though and averages 13 - 15 hrs of sleep per day.

At 17 months she gets between 11.5-12.5 hours.. depends on the night.

He is extremely inconsistent.

He goes to bed at 6:30pm every night. Lately, and I think it's because he just popped his first tooth, he's been up a few times before midnight, another feeding in the night and then up between 6-7am.

But before this week it was 6:30-4am, then up for the day around 7am-8. So he will sleep anywhere from 11-13.5 hours at night. And an additional 3-4 hours of naps during the day. He loves his sleep!

@winniebee: We don't have a good sleeper here, never fear.

10pm - 7:30am. 2-3 wakeups. Uggghhh that is so little time and we're going to be messing with wakeups soon with me going back to work!

My LO is 16 months old and sleeps about 12 hours at night with a 1.5 - 2 hr nap during the day. I remember when he used to wake up in the middle of the night for feedings and thought it would never end. He eventually dropped his middle of the night feeding after he turned 1.

On a good day, LO sleeps from 10:00-6:00 uninterrupted, 6:30-10:30, then 1:00-4:00. On a bad day, she wakes up every 3 to 4 hrs. She's 10 weeks old.

@krsmall: Get an angelcare monitor. Then you can just roll over, see the little movement thing ticking, and get back to sleep.

DS is 2 yrs old and he sleeps 10 hrs. My DD is 5 weeks old and she's been sleeping 8 hrs straight! We do one dream feed at 12.
