How much sleep does LO get?

I just realized Avery is sleeping 12 - 14 hours a night and she takes one two hour nap every day. How much sleep does your LO get? How much are they supposed to get?

Macy sleeps around 11-12 hours at night and usually takes about 2-2.5 hours worth of naps (2 naps a day). So she gets about 13-14.5 hours a day I guess. When we were in sleep training he||, I thought I remembered reading that they needed 12-14 hours total sleep per day, but maybe it's less now that they're older?

DD usually totals between 13 and 14 hours total. 11 hours at night and then naps. On a good day it's two 90 minute naps, but more lately one nap is short (30 minutes) and the other is between 90 minutes and two and half hours. If she takes one nap it's usually a 2 hour nap.

thats awesome! if its working for you, I don't think they can really get too much? Lexi has pretty much a 12-13 hour of sleep in a 24 hour max. We had been having the hardest time getting her to nap, so we pushed her to a later bedtime. She pretty much added the exact time difference to her nap, and has been happier ever since!

Em also sleeps 11-13 hours a night and naps one 1.5-2.5 hour nap and sometimes a second short one a day. I think all babies are different and we're all doing good.

Nikolai sleeps probably 11 hours on average at night and takes 2 naps totaling maybe 2 - 2 1/2 hours.

Wow, I'm jealous! LO sleeps 10-11 hours at night, and then takes ~2 hours of naps (2 1-hr naps), so she's on the lower side of the 12-14 hour range.

He sleeps about 10.5-11 hours at night, and takes 2 naps equaling 2-3 hours total...so, 12-14 hours. I think he needs closer to 13-14, because when his naps are shorter, or he wakes up too early, it's really obvious that he should have slept more.

DD usually sleeps for exactly 10 hours overnight (8 pm - 6 am) and she takes only 1 nap per day that lasts anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours in length. I wish she'd sleep for like 1 more hour overnight to stretch her wake-up time until like 7 am, BUT I can't complain too much because she didn't STTN completely until 10 months and now she's been doing it ever since. So, I'm 100% grateful for the uninterrupted sleep nowadays!

DS sleeps 9-10 hours at night and an hour for the AM nap and 2 hours for the PM nap. So total of 12-13 hours.

Z sleep 12-13 hours at night and takes one 2 hour nap during the day. She's been such a good little sleeper lately, she used to wake up at least once a night (on a good night) up until a few months ago.
