Parenting after a Loss

ok how many hours/day does your 3-month-old sleep?

I'm thinking maybe she just sleeps so well at night that she doesn't need as many naps during the day?? I'd say she sleeps about 13 total hrs/day. But 11-12 of those are at night. I know I shouldn't complain. I just want to make sure I am giving her what she needs -- night AND day.

  • When Aidan was Avery's age, he still slept for several hours a day as well as STTN. But now, he's into just little crappy naps (although still STTN very well). I just think every baby is different in terms of sleep.

  • andrew sleeps about 9-9.5 hours at night (not straight) :( and probably 4-5 hours during the day (sometimes a little less).

  • Jenna was sleeping 11ish at night and barely at all during the day maybe an hour or two

    babycenter has these guidelines but every baby is different

  • Lately (past week) Maya has been sleeping 11-12 hours at night, a nice 2-3 hour nap in the morning, and 1 short 30-45 minute nap in the afternoon.  It's so hard to read those guidelines... I think each baby is so different.  I know she could use a better afternoon nap because she's always falling apart by evening time.

    It's so exhausting figuring out this nap thing!

  • Anna has the same sleeping habits as Avery.  I would love if she would take longer naps during the day (20-40 minutes max, 3x a day), but she sleeps so well at night that I feel like I can't complain.

    My mom commented that she's such a happy baby- my feeling is that if she wasn't getting the sleep she needed, she would be a miserable mess!
