How many hours a day does your 9MO sleep?

LauraandMatt · October 2008

I know that some of you will hate me because I have read many posts with the opposite topic, but DS is 9 mos and really seems to sleep too much to me(16-17 hours/day). I know he is getting a tooth now, so I am sure that has something to do with it, but he always sleeps a lot.

He is sleeping 12-13 hours at night, then up for almost 2 hours, then back down for 1.5-2 hours, up for another 2 then back down for 2= total of about 16-17 hours a day. He used to go to bed at 8, but I can barely keep him awake until 7:00 now- he starts getting cranky at 6. I keep reading the norms are about 14 hours/day for this age. What is your 9 MO doing?

That's about what DS does except he takes 4 one hour naps and sttn. I think we just have good sleepers!!

I am totally jealous. Alex sleeps between 9 & 9.5 hrs at night, and between 1-2.5 hrs during the day. Wanna switch kids for one day? Just one...please?

DS used to nap a lot more (short catnaps several times a day), but now that he has discovered moving, it's hard to get him to nap at all. I'm lucky to get 2 naps totaling 2-3 hours now. Some days he won't take his afternoon nap, which is a bummer. ?He sleeps about 11-12 hours at night, but still wakes up a few times to eat (working on that).
