how much does your 6 month old sleep?

[Frangipani]

My DS2 goes down for sleeps at around 9-9.30am, then about 12-1pm then about 5pm. Each time i aim for minimum 1hr, most of the time he does, but sometimes- like this morning he'll only have 40mins, I couldn't get him to have anymore (i'll go in and put his dummy back in, put his musical seahorse on and walk out saying "shhh"). But then this arvo he woke after 40mins and did go back to sleep for another hour. And then sometimes he'll have 2hrs in the morning and arvo with no encouragement. When he goes down at 5pm though I'll usually wake him about 6.15-6.30pm to have dinner, last feed and put in sleeping bag and back in bed by 7.30-8pm, where he'll sleep til 6.30-7am with 1-3wakes in between (last 3 nights its only been the 1 wake up, so hopefully he can keep this up). From what i can remember (but sadly it wasn't that long ago- i've just got a shocking memory at the moment) DS1 was in a similar routine. In saying that- because of DS1, DS2's sleep routine can vary abit depending on our plans for the day, but i aim to get at least 1 of the day sleep in at home. With DS1 i always found the better he slept during the day the better he slept during the night. The jury's still out on that theory with DS2- but going on the last few nights it could be right with DS2.
