How to get baby to sleep through the night

Behavior & Habits

Although all-too-brief baby sleep and frequent night wakings may fool you into thinking your baby isn't getting much sleep, in reality she is probably getting plenty.

The average newborn sleep or infant sleep  is on and off for more than sixteen hours a day. Even though the amount of time spent on sleep gradually decreases over time, by twelve months of age, most babies still sleep anywhere from twelve to sixteen hours a day.

Typical two and three year olds need twelve to fourteen hours of sleep a day, counting both night time sleep and naps.

Each baby develops an individual pattern. There are sleepy babies, and babies who sleep relatively little. For the most part, these differences are probably inborn.

Parents who get by happily on little sleep often seem to have babies who also sleep less than average (genetics is a powerful force). But over time, how parents behave towards their babies also influences how much their little ones sleep.

On the whole, babies whoa re caref for in a way that is very calm and predictable spend more time sleeping. Infact, they tend to be more laid back in general, more willing to sit quietly and let the world come to them, less intense in their expressions both of sadness and of happiness.
