Baby sleeps 12+ hours a day??

Question

Is it normal for my 4 month old to only stay awake for about 9 hours a day? She doesn't really have a sleep schedule cause I'm a stay at home mom so she just sleeps when she wants. I also co sleep so at night when she gets hungry I just feed her and she goes right back to sleep, so she stays asleep longer. I just didn't know if this is healthy or normal.. Any advise?

Answer

Thanks guys ☺️

Answer

Sounds pretty normal to me. A schedule is essential even if you are a stay at home mom. I'm also a stay at home mom. My 5 month old has made her own schedule but it works.
8am wakes up
10am nurses then naps
12/1ish nurses then naps a bit
Good 4 ish or so stretch of her being awake.
4/4:30 nurses then naps a bit
8:30/9 nurses & is down for the night.
We bed share so she latches & eats when ever she feels like it during the night.

Answer

Yep! A baby that age sleeps around 16-18 hours a day. Mine is 6 months now and is down to around 14-16

Answer

Yes, it's normal.

Answer

Totally normal! Enjoy it 😉

Answer

Babies sleep A LOT in the beginning, and then it slowly decreases over time. I'd say you're good :)
