Worried about babies total sleep
Hi everyone,
Our 11 month olds sleep has really improved recently but he’s still only sleeping around 9 hours each night with roughly 2/2.5 hours in the day.
He goes to bed around 8/8:30 and usually wakes once (sometimes can be awake an hour) and wakes at 6:00.
He’s perfectly happy when he’s awake but I’m just worried he’s not getting enough total sleep.
The longest he’s slept at night is 10 hours. I’ve tried letting him sleep for 3 hours in day and also 1.5 hours but it doesn’t really change bedtime. His current awake time is 3/4/4 on most days which is why bedtime is around 8pm.
Anyone else in the same boat? Any tips for longer sleep at night? X

My little one has roughly the same routine as yours and I’ve tried to change up the nap times but he’s exact same it makes no difference 🤷🏻♀️ he’s happy in himself ☺️ all babies need variations of the amount of sleep they need. I wouldn’t worry if he’s fine and not whiny / over tired.
Our LO is pretty much the same and very happy with it
My LO is similar, he seems to have slightly lower sleep needs. His average overnight is about 9-10 hours and in the day 2-3 tops. Just seems to be all he needs!
Oh mines the same, I didn't even think about him not getting enough sleep, he seems happy throughout the day 🤷🏻♀️ so I just continue like this. Bed around 8/8:30pm, wake up at 6am, 2-3 hours naps a day 😄
Our little one is similar, and so was our first born. Some babies just don't quite need as much as others. As long as he is content in the day, I wouldn't worry! 🙂
