How many hours do your 4-6 month olds sleep a day?

Question

My 5 month old girl sleeps about 12-13 hours a day. If I’m lucky I can get her to sleep 14 but I feel like 12-13 hours isn’t enough for her. She sleeps like 9.5- 10 hours at night and 2.5-3.5 hours during the day. I mean she’s a happy baby so she seems fine but I think she could use more sleep. How are your babies sleeping?

Answer

My 5 month old sleeps around 14-15 hours in 24 hours. He sleeps 8:30-6am and is awake about 3 hours before bed.

Answer

At night, my 4 month old has been sleeping anywhere from 7 -8 pm to around 6-7 am due to my work schedule and needing to get her to daycare. 
During the day, she takes 3-5 30-45 minute naps. She’s never been a big daytime sleeper, i think it’s because of the daylight. But she doesn’t ever seem too fussy except at night when she’s ready for bed.

Answer

My son sleeps maybbbe 3 hours during the day but is never crabby . Then at night he goes to sleep at 9 and sleeps till 7:30 am

Answer

I would say that’s the low end of normal to be honest. Some babies, like some people just don’t need as much sleep

Answer

It varies from 12 to 15 probably. Last night he slept 11 hours then took two 2 hour naps today. Some nights he only naps 45 min to an hour.

Answer

I ask my pediatrician about this at every visit. My son hovers around 12 hours of sleep in 24. He said it’s on the low end but seems to be normal for him. I think I’m supposed to not worry but of course I do. He will self regulate to that same amount. If he sleeps in late in the morning, he will have a short nap. Etc.
