Mums who are struggling with sleep - maybe not the post for you and I am truly sorry if you are and hope it improves soon!
My situation is that my almost 6 month old, has always been a 'good' sleeper. From very young sleeping through the next and never experienced regressions. However, as he gets older this makes me worry.
His usual day
Wake at 7am
Nap at 8.30am (45 mins)
Nap at 10.30/11am (30'mins) not always has this one depends if we are out in the pram
Nap at 2pm (1.5/2 hours)
Bed time 7pm sleeps 12 hours
He can do 1.5hour awake in the morning and it progresses to 2/2.5/3 as the day goes on.
Is this okay? I feel like he's getting too much sleep and I don't know if that's possible. He's a great weight (9kg), sitting up, chatty, very strong and alert. Nothing concerning developmentally and as has been like this his whole life, not unwell!
Anyone else have a similar baby?

Hey! I’m Mel a holistic sleep coach. There are averages of sleep in 24 hours at certain ages but they are only averages. Some will sleep more and others less.
As long as your baby is happy all sounds good to me!

Same here! Mine wakes up at 6, 9am nap till 11, then 1 hour at 2:30 then bed at 6/7pm. I’m just following my baby’s flow, he does have some days when he sleeps more and others where he sleeps almost nothing. Sometimes it depends by what we do in awake windows, how much we play if we go out etc.. I believe as long as lo is happy and eats regularly just go with the flow, he knows how much sleep he requires x

Thanks both! He is the happiest little soul, and like you his day sleep does depend on what we've done (swim, plays etc). But as a rule of thumb he sleeps 14-15 hours in a 24 hour period, I was wondering if this was a sign he wasn't right but honestly this baby couldn't be happier or more content. Guess I'll enjoy and pray for the toddler years 😂

My baby is exactly the same, same age, think we’re just lucky!!

Often she’ll wake at 7, feed and then we’ll lie in til 8.30/9 - she wakes, does some tummy time and a little poo and back to sleep for a few hours. Wakes, plays, back off at 11ish, awake by two… back to sleep by 7pm and sleeps all night xxx

Im glad to know I’m not the only one whose baby sleeps almost all morning.. off course that’s when hubby is in charge of the baby 😐

My LG is the exact same, 12 hours straight at night and never had a regression, 30mins in the morning, 2 hours at lunch and 30mins in the evening 🙂

From a mum that has a baby that will not nap, want to swap? 😂😂 she’s good at night, sleeps 12h, so I guess I’m still very very lucky

Exactly the same schedule for my boy x
