Hi Preethu

If you only knew how many of us are/have been in the opposite situation!
My baby has not been a good sleeper since about five weeks of age. During this time until she was about 5 months old, she was averaging 6-7 hrs sleep in a 24 hr cycle. She is now 11 and a half months and her total hrs of sleep are still less than what is recommended by experts. The main thing: is your baby healthy, happy and has several periods where he is alert/active and content.

For your baby's age group, the recommended sleep is 15-15.5 hrs in a 24 hr cycle. The foll website may be useful: www dot babycentre dot co dot uk

Cheers

RE:How to Develop a Sleep Routine for your Newborn
According to me this is good but then you cannot force your child to sleep as per your wish as kids as really bad in this and they have a tendency to sleep in day and get up in late night so according to me this is not the key to success, please post if i am wrong.... - Anita [View Message]
