Mobile: how much does LO sleep total?
DS is sleeping around 12.5 hours and it is driving me crazy. During the day I swear I spend two hours changing him, feeding him and trying to put him back to sleep and then hold him for ten mins, put him down and he only sleeps for 15 mins to 30 mins and then we're back at it again. The only way he will sleep longer is in my arms or in the Ergo while I dance around in it. I can't get anything done around the house AND I am afraid he isn't sleeping enough. Sleep has been ESP bad the last few days so maybe growth spurt but he doesn't usually sleep more than 13.5 in a 24 hour period.

My goal is 15 hours a day. She usually does ten at night and takes 4 naps. One is usually longer, about 2 hrs, and the other 3 range from 30min-1hr. I wish she would do 3 longer naps instead of 4 but c'est la vie.
When she was younger she rarely napped on her own without being held.
My boys are sleeping about 16 hours a day. They eat every 3 hours or so, which only takes 30 minutes from diaper change to nursing and falling back asleep. They have two 2 hour awake times- one in morning, one in evening.
