my baby sleeping too much?

[carang]

maybe i just wasn't so lucky with my two.

my daughter, now 13 months, has woken at
6am for the last 7 months
she goes to sleep from 9-10am
sleeps from 1:30-3
and then sleeps between 7:30-8:30pm

My 14mth old son still sleeps quite a bit too, i think it's nice to enjoy the free time!!

8 or 9am wake up
Playtime/snack
10 or 11am - 12 or 1pm morning nap
lunch when he wakes up
2 or 3pm afternoon nap
Playtime/snack
5:30pm dinner
bath
6:30 or 7:30pm bedtime

we are flexible about an hour every day, it all depends on what time he wakes up in the morning.
If we have a playgroup, usually in the afternoon after lunch we will skip the PM nap for that day and put him to bed a little earlier. Yes he'll be a bit grouchy by the time dinner and bedtime rolls around but we only have playgroup once a week so i think its ok

i'm SOOOOOOOOOO jealous!

Haha carang I've got my fingers crossed that No.2 will be a sleeper too!!!!

Oh i forgot to metion, usually around 6:30 or 7am my son will wake up once and fuss/complain, but he's usually back to sleep after 5 or 10 minutes. I try to only get him when he wakes up gurgling/talking and not when he's complaining because usually that means he's still tired...

my girl is the same...if she's not ready to wake she fusses. when she's ready, she's talking and babbling away...

problem for me... she's talking and babbling by 6:15am at the latest!

our son is the same he gets up at 5.45-6.30 wide awake to play but i think it is good as it gives us an early start and he sleeps by 7.30 in the evening so we get some time to ourselves. he has been getting up early forever so by now we are so used to it

Babies this age need about 12-16 hours total for a day. I don't think he is sleeping too much. As long as he is active, alert and energetic when he is awake and is eating well, I wouldn't worry about it. As the others said, enjoy it while you can.

My LO is also 9 months and she sleeps about 12-13 hrs a day:

6:30 am - wake up (although lately its been more like 6 am)
7 am - BF and breakfast
9 am - nap for 30-40 mins
11 am - BF and lunch
1 pm - nap for 1-1.5 hrs
3:30 pm - BF
5 pm - dinner
6:45 pm - BF
7:30 pm - bedtime

My 18mth old still loves his sleep, just like his mum and dad!

He sleeps 7.30pm - 7.30/8am

Naps 12.30pm - 2.30/3.30pm

If he gets less than this he is a complete grump, and so am I!
