How can I tell if my baby is sleeping enough at night for his age, or if his sleep is short?

The most reliable way to tell if your baby is getting enough sleep for his age is not from total daily sleep, but from how he is when awake. If your baby seems generally happy when awake, curious, engaged with his surroundings, and can tolerate age-appropriate wake times, his sleep is likely sufficient. Short sleep is generally naps under 20-30 minutes, and if your baby wakes from these crying and tired, it could be an issue. For night sleep, if your baby wakes frequently, has trouble falling back asleep, isn't fussy when waking, and doesn't show signs of tiredness during the day like yawning and eye rubbing, his sleep is probably age-appropriate. Every baby's needs vary somewhat; following your baby's signals rather than getting stuck on a chart is the healthiest approach.
