Answer 2

DEpends on the age of the baby. My 7 month old sleeps about 4 or 5 hours during the day when you combine his three naps. He then sleeps 12 hours at night.

Answer 3

Totally depends on the age of your baby. Here are some excellent books I've read on the subject:

Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems by Richard Ferber
The Happiest Baby on the Block by Harvey Karp
Secrets of the Baby Whisperer by Tracy Hogg
On Becoming Baby Wise by Gary Ezzo and Robert Bucknam

Answer 4

if under 6 months 5 hours in the day or 6 hours and if above 6 months like a 1 or 2 hour nap and all will do okay

Answer 5

That baby have to be feed every three hours. So that means sleep when the baby does. Then the slowly grow out of it

Answer 6

I got a chart off the internet but here it is.
How much sleep does your child really need? Use these guidelines:
1 week old: 16.5 total hours, including 4 naps
1 month: 15.5 total hours, including 3 naps
3 months: 15 total hours, including 3 naps
6 months: 14.25 total hours, including 2 naps
9 months: 14 total hours, including 2 naps
1 year: 13.75 total hours, including 2 naps

Answer 7

Every baby is different, some babies will sleep more than others and some less. You just have to get used to your baby and learn what suits him/her best.

I have heard of babies that refuse to sleep during the day and only sleep at night.

Answer 8

well i let my baby take 2-3 naps a day for about 30 minutes and gives him a nice bottle or table food before he goes to bed, and he sleeps all night.

Answer 9

your baby will tell you when she needs a nap. just do whatever works best so she sleeps enough for the both of you at night.
