How much sleep should an 8 month old baby get each day?

The twelve to fourteen hour range is about right for sleeping. My daughters are now 9 y/o so it's been a few years since they were this young, but to answer your question about getting them back to sleep: I'd sing to them. I love to sing. Of course, my singing voice resembles the warble of a dying toad, but back then they loved it. Nowadays they eihter make a face or run screaming from the room when they hear me sing, but I tell them they had better taste in music when they were younger anyway....

i think that the baby should sleep for around half the day (twelve hours). The baby would probably sleep and wake-up several times a fay; but just put him/her back to sleep if they wake-up; otherwise, you might be disturbed when you are asleep! Good luck with all your baby troubles.

your baby should sleep in the morning,afternoon and evening... sometimes when a baby wake-up 6am in the morning it will sleep after 2-3hrs for 3hrs then in the afternoon it will depends 3-4hrs then at night im sure sometimes the baby is playing... hehehe...it is very hard but it is worth it..

A whole day long what will 8 month baby do when she will awake=D?

Good question rachelcaron. My little guy is the same age and sometimes I am afraid he sleeps to much. But now that I see the responses, I know he is okay. Thanks for the topic.

I don't know really but my daughter sleeps for about 11 hours over night, then she'll have an hour long nap in the morning & another 1 - 1 1/2 hour nap after lunch. It's probably not as much as she needs but she'll let me know if she's tired!

I am Prof. Dr. Amgad Rabie, a baby of this age should sleep, at least, 14 - 16 hours daily.
