I think that's pretty normal. 14-16 hours a day is what they usually sleep. All babies are different, like my son always slept. He would be up for 2 hours and then get cranky and take a nap. This was every 2 hours and he still slept through the night. My niece, she barely ever took a nap. She maybe would take a 1/2 hour nap once a day. I guess it's just your son's personality.

Oh great. I just can't have a baby who sleeps! DD was the same way, hated sleeping and still does. She's a terrible sleeper now and I hope DS is not hinting that he won't be sleeping much in the future either. I don't think I can handle 2 kids not sleeping all day long :( 13-15 hours of sleep is on a very good day, I would say. For example, he woke up at 8 am this morning and didn't go down for his nap until 12:30 pm. He'll probably take another nap around 5 or so.

Oh man, I hope not, just for your peace of mind. Does he sleep through the night yet? My son now at 7 months takes two naps. Both at the same times as your ds. But they are pretty long naps. An hour and a half to 2 hours. How long are his naps?

He was sleeping through the night at 6 weeks but recently started waking up often again. His naps can range anywhere between 20 minutes to 3 hours.
