    Gracie, I agree with Blue Daisy that they are all different and if your DS seems happy than he is probably getting enough sleep. Tom at 16 months often still sleeps for 14 hours at night and 3 or more hours during the day. This is way above average but he seems to need it. He has always needed more sleep than Jack, who at the same age was probably having less than 14 hours total in 24 hours.

    Personally I tend to take what MCHNs say with a grain of salt. For there to be an average, there have to be bubs who have more and bubs who have less. I think that following your instinct and your own observations is the best way to parent and you seem to be doing this very well.
