moms of 4 month olds

how long does your 4 month old sleep a day? my pedi said to aim for 14-16 hrs a day.

 

we are lucky if we get 9-10 hrs at night with her getting up at least once at night. then, she maybe take 1 or 2  30-40 minute naps and maybe 1.5-2.5 hr nap later....do u even count a 30 minute nap?

 

So, she only sleeps around 11-13 hrs...anyone else have this prob? is 11 hr way too little?

    He usually has 2-4 hours of naps during the day, then 10 hours of sleep at night.

    My daughter is 4 and a half months, and honestly JUST started sttn 7PM-7AM like 2 days ago. She doesn't really like napping all that much, and on a good day gets 1-2 hour long naps....but on a bad day, doesn't nap more than 15 min at a time.

     Before 2 days ago she was going down around 8-9 and getting up every 4 or so hours....up for the day by 6AM.

    Don't worry, they all figure it out in their own time, and you can't forca a baby to sleep. Just be patient

    He is in bed from 8-8 usually, but up 3-4 times to eat. So maybe 10-11 hours of sleep at night and naps are HORRIBLE. Right now he is napping on my nipple for the 2nd cat nap (15-20 minutes) of the day. He will probably take another later in the stroller.

    my DS sleeps 9-10 hours at night (with wakings) and takes four 45 mins. naps a day usually.  so that's about 12-13 hours max.  i don't think it's too big of a deal especially if they're happy and thriving.

    My DS is in bed from 8-8ish with one feeding, although lately he wakes up numerous times for his paci (started at around 4 months).  He only takes 2 or 3 30 minute naps a day, so I guess he's getting around 13 hours...

    The No Cry Sleep Solution says that any nap less than an hour doesn't count, which makes me laugh!

    My DD sleeps about 10 hrs at night. She'll wake up once to eat. During the day it's hard to get her to nap sometimes. She's in daycare 4 days a week and I think she'll get at least one 2 hour nap in the afternoon and maybe a smaller cat nap in the morning.
