I know every baby is different but how long should i 'expect' my baby (3months) to sleep for during the day? I try to get him down in his cot 3 times a day and he sleeps for roughly 40- 1hour a time. Occasionally he will surprise me and do a 2 hour stint (ususally on the days we need to be somewhere). My MCHN told me he is not sleeping long enough and i should make him sleep another 'cycle'. I feel abit stupid standing there patting his shoulder and saying 'go back to sleep', when he is clearly wide awake and refusing to shut his eyes. He is sleeping through the night - goes down about 8pm and generally wakes between 6.30 - 7.30am. He also sleeps in the pram and baby Bjorn - which i try to use either at least once a day. This may all sound a little vague, but i just want to be sure i am doing it 'right'. Thanks - Em
