I envy you lol. The amount of sleep seems normal to me for a 7 1/2 mo baby. But I still envy you hehe. My kids didn't sleep through the night until they were 8 months old.

The sleeping through the night isn't something that you have to worry about. Babies generally take three naps during the day as well. Two hours naps is a normal length. One morning, one afternoon, and an evening siesta that's most often a little shorter, is fairly common.

Some babies need less sleep than do others. At this age in general, babies need almost 15 hours of sleep! I know it seems like a lot compared to what we need doesn't it? If your baby is especially active when she is awake, or growing rapidly (which can sometimes last for a while, don't forget it takes a long time to cut teeth as well) she may need a little more. Your baby is almost textbook here looks like to me.

11 hours at night, plus 2 for the morning, plus 2 for the afternoon and 1 in the evening or so makes 15, so I think you are pretty much on track. Some babies are also well-tempermented, so you can be thankful you didn't get one like mine that likes to take about 11 hours a day and is fine with it.

Here's one of my most used links: it's my favorite chart to give to moms dealing with sleep issues with their babies

Thanks for the input. I have seen a few sites that say they suggest less than 13 hours, so I just want to make sure things are okay. And, I do feel lucky that I have such a good sleeper. I keep hearing stories from my mom about how she was lucky to get me to sleep more than 6 hours.

yeah, that sounds about right. My son is almost 6 months and has been sleeping all night since 3 weeks old but he'll normally stay about about 2 hours in the morning then a nap time. Sometimes he wont take one of his naps so he'll sleep a little longer during another nap but yes. he sleeps 14-16 hours a day. It's VERY normal.. good luck with the baby

thank you for this information, my grandson sleeps all night 11-12 hours and then naps in the morning and then again in the early afternoon and then again at night total of 15-16 hours per day. The change came after he began to eat cereal, fruits and veggies was concerned but can see this appears to be normal for a 6 month old, so thank you very much and best of luck to all of you with young children
