12 hours by 12 weeks?

Read my original post- I want 6 hours if possible, not 12. If I can gain one thing from a book that's positive, I'll take it.
It's just the name of a book.

"I want 6 hours"

This sounds extremely selfish and unintelligent.

By saying I WANT 6 hours of sleep is not bring selfish. Any parent would be lying if they said they didn't want 6 hours. I would never ignore my daughters hunger cues and there is no way to FORCE her to sleep longer than she's able to. But if I can help her be in a routine, I don't see the problem. My daughter has happily slept for 6 hours on her own, but its not consistent.
I'm sorry you think I'm a selfish person. I would never force my daughter to do something she's not ready for.

There is nothing wrong developing a routine and schedule for your baby. However, you can't expect them to STTN until they are ready. 

My son sleeps for 5 hours once I put him down for the night. I will take that at this age.
