Most babies between six months and a year are sleeping 10 to 12 hours a night and one to two day naps. Now when we say 10 to 12 hours a night, often at this age most babies are still waking at least once in the night, which a lot of parents don’t realise because everyone else’s babies are sleeping through the night. It pays not to compare with other people’s babies and as a rule of thumb most babies are waking at least once in the night at this age.
