Help! Sleep question - is DH crazy?

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

We used to put DS down at 8. A couple of months ago, he started to be so fussy at night, so we tried making his bed time earlier and he now goes down between 7 and 7:30. DH is reading Ferber right now and is saying DS should sleep at night from 9 - 6 and he should take two 1 1/2 hour naps for a total of 9 hours of sleep at night and about 12-13 hours in total at the end of the day. Does this sound crazy or difficult since DS goes to bed so early? He sleeps from about 7/7:30 - 6 now. Of course, interrupted sleep, which is why we're reading Ferber.

    DD currently sleeps from 7-7 at night, and *usually* takes two 1.5 hour naps a day.

    When she was 7 months old, she was going more like 6:30pm-7am with 2-2hr naps a day, so I don't think that's far fetched at all.

    I think 9 months are supposed to have 14 hours of sleep, 12 months 13.5 hours of sleep.

    Ds slept from 7 - 7 at 7 months with 1 3 hour nap and 1 30min nap

    DS has been going down at 7pm since I read all the sleep books around 6 months. I think it was Healthy Sleep Habits Healthy child that said that 7pm was a good bedtime for that age..

    eh ferber was really off with that part of his book. healthy sleep habits happy child is soooo much better with how much your baby should sleep.   grant takes a one hour nap and a 2 hour nap (and then a cat nap later around 5 pm) and goes to bed at 7-7... which according to HSHHC is normal

    We've never done any sleep training, but DS sleeps from 9-7 and then takes 2 1.5 hours naps (around 9 and 1:15) and most of the time a third cat nap (like 30 minutes) around 5:30.

    We are very similiar to this.  I do want to say, though, just like adults, babies are all different.  I don't think you can say one bedtime for every baby.  Do what works for YOUR baby, not what any book tells you should work for all babies.  I realize you don't think what you have is working and you need to make some adjustments but it will be different for every child.
