How many hours does a 1-year-old baby sleep? My mother-in-law says one thing, I read something else.

A 1-year-old baby's total sleep need is usually between 11-14 hours. This is typically distributed as approximately 10-12 hours at night and 2-3 hours of daytime sleep (usually one nap).

Of course, every baby is different—some do fine on 10 hours, others need close to 14. What matters more than the number is that when your baby wakes up, he's rested, content, and energetic during the day.

I don't know what your mother-in-law says, but sometimes older generations compare against the idea that "babies should sleep 12 hours straight at night without waking." In reality, at this age, waking 1-2 times during the night and falling back asleep on their own is quite common.

Does your baby seem rested when he wakes up, or does he seem tired? And what specifically does your mother-in-law say about sleep? Tell me briefly and we can look at it together.
