I've just been sent a leaflet from Hipp Organic about sleep - it's obviously trying to sell one of their products, but I was really interested in the section about how much sleep your baby needs - then it's really worried me - it says that a baby of 3-6 months should be having two daytime naps of 2-3 hours each. Now I'm really struggling to get the balance of day vs night sleep right. My DD (5 months) usually has 3 naps per day, ranging anywhere between half an hour to two hours, but I'm starting to think this is too much now - especially as she has started to wake in the night (having slept right through for a while), and is getting harder to put down at night.
The thing is though, I don't think she'd make it through the day with less sleep. Do you think she is sleeping too much in the day, and should I wake her in the day?
Sorry for the ramble - I am a bit confused by the Hipp leaflet, and struggling to find the right way for my DD, and I would appreciate any advice!
