# of naps: Many babies are transitioning there napping behavior around this time. As newborns they just sleep and eat. By two months have a couple of hours a day they are awake. By 6 months, are really into exploring their universe, so not as much sleep. Still should have 1-2 hours of quiet time in morning and in afternoon, whether it be sleep or just cuddle and book reading time. That may encourage napping.

We have a 10 week old baby who does not sleep much. She sleeps 2,5 hours in the day, consisting of three to five 30 min naps. putting her to sleep takes from 7pm to often 10pm. How do I get her to rest/sleep more? She also wakes up every 2 hours.
