Is Your Baby Getting Enough Sleep?
If you’re a parent, you’ve probably asked yourself: “Is my baby getting enough sleep?”
Sleep plays a huge role in your baby’s growth, development, and mood — but figuring out what’s “normal” can be confusing.
That’s why we created this quick quiz to help you compare your baby’s sleep habits to typical ranges by age.
How Much Sleep Does a Baby Need?
While every baby is different, here are general sleep guidelines:
- 0–3 months: 14–17 hours per day
- 4–6 months: 12–16 hours per day
- 7–12 months: 12–14 hours per day
- 12+ months: 11–14 hours per day
This includes both daytime naps and nighttime sleep.
Signs Your Baby May Not Be Getting Enough Sleep
Some common signs include:
- Frequent fussiness or irritability
- Difficulty falling asleep
- Short naps or inconsistent sleep
- Waking up often during the night
If your baby shows these signs regularly, it may be worth adjusting their sleep routine.
What Affects Baby Sleep?
Several factors can impact how well your baby sleeps:
- Age and developmental stage
- Feeding schedule
- Sleep environment (light, noise, temperature)
- Teething or growth spurts
Even small changes can make a big difference over time.
Tips to Help Your Baby Sleep Better
- Stick to a consistent bedtime routine
- Watch for sleep cues (rubbing eyes, yawning)
- Keep the room dark and quiet
- Put your baby down while drowsy but awake
