how much sleep.....

[sam#3]

does a 12 week old baby need in the day??

now that were changing his routine and feeding it would be handy to know how much they sleep at this age in the day, all the books only give the amount up to about 6 weeks old

thanks!

From what I can gather it is 14-15 hours a day, including 2-3 daytime naps, in their forth month. x

Jasmine sleeps about 12 hours at night... During the day she usually only has small cat naps throughout the day... but sometimes she will have a longer nap. Every baby is different though and some sleep more then others, and some sleep more or less during growth spurts.

Hannah had 6 or so daytime naps of 30-45 minutes in length at that age, averaged to about 4-5 hours of sleep during the day

Katie had two short naps of about 30/40 mins, one morning one late afteroon and she had a longer one after lunch - anywhere from an hour to two or even three on the odd occasion. Probably totalled about 4 hours. Depends on how much sleep they need they're all so different.

Our baby book says for 6-12 weeks babies need about 14-18 hours but they all vary anyway. Can you observe him for a couple of days first and see how many hours he sleeps before adjusting the routine?
