How much sleep should a 6 month old get?

A 6-month-old typically needs about 14 to 15 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period, which includes nighttime sleep and daytime naps. At this age, many infants sleep around 10 to 12 hours at night, often waking once or twice for feedings, along with 2 to 3 naps during the day. It's important to establish a consistent sleep routine to help promote healthy sleep habits.
