How much sleep does your baby need? To address the effects of lack of sleep, it’s also important to know exactly how much sleep your baby really needs. Here are some guidelines for each age group: 
 Newborns: Up to 14-18 hours total per day, while waking up every few hours for feedings. 1 to 2 months: Babies can sleep 4 to 5 hours straight. 3 to 6 months: Sleep totals at night can range from 8 to 9 hours, plus short daytime naps. 6 to 12 months: 14 hours of sleep total, with 2 to 3 naps during the day. 
 Keep in mind that these are recommended averages. Every baby is different. Some babies might sleep more, while others don’t need quite as much sleep.
