Your baby not sleeping during the day is a common source of worry for parents. Babies 0-3 months need 15-18 hours of total sleep, much of it during daytime. From 4-6 months, daytime naps become 2-3 times, and after 12 months, 1-2 times.

If your baby is sleeping much less than expected for their age, or naps are very short (less than 30 minutes), overtiredness can create a cycle where the more tired they are, the harder it is to fall asleep. Catching that sleep window is important.

A few things you can try: match your baby's wake time to their age (45-60 minutes for newborns, 2-2.5 hours for 6-month-olds), create a calm routine before sleep (reading, soft talking, dim light), and reduce stimulation in the room.

If poor daytime sleep lasts more than 2 weeks and baby seems restless or weight gain has slowed, check with your pediatrician.
