Yay for STTN!

LO is 11 weeks old and last night slept from 7pm until 5:30am.  It was amazing!  I have a cold and so far he is fighting it off but I wonder if he slept so much because of that?  No signs of him being sick yet but I'm sure I've exposed him to my germs.  How wonderful it will be if this is the new normal for us!  He usually sleeps a 6 hour stretch followed by 4 hour stretches until about 7am when we get up.

I've read that a baby his age needs 14-16 hours of sleep so if he sleeps for 12 hours at night its normal to take shorter naps right?  The past couple weeks he only takes about 3-4 catnaps that last less than 1 hour.  I know I've seen it here a hundred times but can someone post that list of how much sleep babies need for their age?
