How Much Sleep for Baby: 6 Months to 1 Year

By on October 10, 2012 in Baby Steps, Baby's First Year, Melissa's Daily Vlog, Sleeping

How much sleep does baby need betwee 6-months-old and 1-year-old? Babies and sleep — such a huge topic for exhausted parents!  As your baby gets older you might wonder how much sleep she needs and when she will start sleeping through the night. In this video I talk about general sleep guidelines for your 6-month-old to 1-year-old baby:

  • 6-Month-Old Baby: Sleeps 14-15 hours/day including 2 or 3 naps
  • 9 to 12-Month-Old Baby: Sleeps 14 hours/day including 2 naps

Signs that Baby Is Overtired:

  • Baby is cranky, irritable or fussy
  • Baby falls asleep before usual bedtime
  • Baby wakes up too early in the morning (really!)
  • Baby rubs her eyes

I’m super interested to know what your experience has been like with all this, so please comment below and tell me the scoop!
