[quote=Anonymous]At the beginning of 6 months DC was taking 3 naps - one was usually about 1.5 hours and the other two were only 30 minutes. She was sleeping an average of 11.5 hours a night. It ended up being usually in the 13-14 hour range for total sleep as well, although I usually aimed to keep her time awake daily at around 9.5 hours. Overnight sleep started to decrease a bit and all 3 naps shortened unless I pushed her to stay awake longer before the first nap, so we transitioned to 2 naps. Overnight sleep went back up and total nap length stayed at around 2.5 hours, some days even closer to 3. As for bedtime we had it down to a science at that point because I'd learned the hard way that a bedtime before 6:30 or after 7 led to a wake-up 45 minutes after bedtime and in the 2 a.m.-ish timeframe from either treating bedtime like a nap (if too early) or being overtired (if too late). I learned that from about 2 months worth of observations.[/quote]
