![💤💤😴😴 12 HOURS SOLID SLEEP 💤💤😴😴
12 hour overnight sleep is talked about a lot when it comes to baby and child's sleep. It can make parents feel like they are failing if their child doesn't do the 7-7 thing.
I just want to say if your baby doesn't sleep 12 solid hours at night then they are normal! [to add. if your child does sleep 12 hours, also normal].
It is very normal for babies and children (depending on age and a lot of other things) to sleep anything from 9-15 hours at night. So if your child doesn't need 12 hours then don't force it.
There is a massive window of normal and I would love to see the pressure lifted away from the almost unachievable (for the majority) 7-7 timings.
Lets instead focus on calm connected bedtimes, optimising naps, gently encouraging longer stretches of unbroken sleep, this coupled with healthy lifestyles is the winning formula for sustainable long healthy sleep.
