sleep times
Are there any guidelines on how many hours a day babies should be sleeping?
My baby is 10 weeks old and still sleeps around 15-18 hours in a day. Is this about right or should I try to keep him awake/entertained longer? He doesn't fall asleep by himself but when he gets overstimulated I rock him to sleep, otherwise he just gets grisly. It would be useful if someone has a link to a site that gives some sort of guidlines to how much babies should sleep |

Given the variations in babies, I think such a site would only serve to worry or irritate parents! It sounds like you are doing exactly the right thing. When they act tired, soothe them! :-) Good luck, Larry |

Every baby is different.
My eldest daughter slept quite a lot. My son would only sleep for a few hours, infact he slept for about the same hours my daughter didn't! Don't worry about it, he'll sleep if he wants to, and not if he doesn't! www.bextech.org.uk ---Are you a winner? |
