Sleep questions

Ok, to make this simpler, and the results more meaningful, could you please just answer the following in a post?

How old are your babies?

How many hours of sleep do they get in a day (total night + total daytime)

Are they happy on this schedule?

Thanks!

 

My little ones are about 10.5 months.
About 14 hours of sleep
This consists of 10 or 11 hours at night and a 1.5 hour nap mid-morning and an hour to 1.5 hour nap in the early afternoon.
They seem really happy with this schedule. They just changed over from 3 naps a day to 2 as I changed their feeding schedule a bit as I was introducing more solids into their diet.

 

my girls are 7.5 months old.

they sleep aprox 15.5 hours a day (12 hrs at night & 3.5 hrs divided into 3 naps in the day).

they seem pretty happy over all with this schedule.

 

At 10 months, my babies were getting 11-12 hours of sleep at night, with 2+ hours of naptime during the day. So, that is 13-14+ hours of sleep a day. Yes, they were very happy with this schedule. HTH.

My babies are 5 1/2 months old. They get 10-11 hours at night, 1.5 in the morning, 2.5 afternoon, and usually a catnap of about 30 minutes or so in the evening before their 7:30 bedtime. They overall seem pretty happy with the schedule but when they skip that catnap between their 3:00 and 7:00 feeding they are FUSSY! We are just weathering through it because we have always been unable to get them to nap well for that 3rd nap and soon they will be better able to handle being awake for that long. Moving up the bedtime worked to get them to sleep through the night so we don't want to toy with that in an effort to get in a 3rd nap.

mine are almost 9 months old (see ticker).

They sleep 12 hours at night + 2-3 hours during the day. The daytime naps do vary from day-to-day though, i.e. it can be less but never more.

Yes, they are happy!

 

How old are your babies?

11.5 months

12 hours night + 3-4 hours daily = 15-16 hours.

Trial & error - this was the best for us!

Same here, except it was more like 3 hours of napping during the day.

 

My babies are 5 months old. they sleep 13-14 hours total in a day. 9-10 hours at night and aprox. 3.5 hours of nap time during the day.

 

mine are 4 mo 1 week
they sleep about 16 hours total 12 hours at night and 3.5-4.5 during the day
yes they are happy, my DD is a little fussy but much better on this schedule

 

How old are your babies?
8 months

How many hours of sleep do they get in a day (total night + total daytime)
11 at night, 3 naps (1.5 hours, 2 hours, 30 min-1 hour) Probably 15 hours.

Are they happy on this schedule?
They are now, but I'm sure the third nap will start disappearing soon. In fact, they didn't take it today, and I sent them to bed at 6:30.

 

Thanks for the feedback. It makes me feel better that we're not too far off, sleep-wise. At least with my daughter. Today she got 11 hours at night and two 2 hour naps. (And she was crabbier and clingier than ever tonight. go figure!). For my son, I just kept putting him down when he got crabby. He got two 40 minute naps that ended in screaming fits, as usual and an extra 45-1 hour nap (where I put him down after he had just been up for an hour because I couldn't take it anymore). It's like I'm dealing with the schedule of a 4 month old all over again. The sleep didn't seem to make much difference, I think he's just going through something (a LONG something). And the different schedule thing drove me crazy today - actually, not even having a schedule at all - one awake the whole time, going down for naps at different times - eating meals at different times. I can't do that anymore. I think I'll just stick to my schedule, try to put him down a little sooner, and maybe just get out of the house a little more - then he can sleep in the car if he needs more. We hardly ever get out anymore, and I think we're all feeling it!
