My daughter is 16 months old and isn't much better. She sleeps so lightly when she does sleep that I wonder if she's getting good sleep at night. Just checking in her room will wake her up, even if I tip toe and don't make a sound. She sleeps about 12 hours at night and 3 hours during the day. At about 12 months it was 17-18 hours total. My largest problem is that her caregivers during the day will not accept this and think I'm being nuts. I get her and find she's exhausted because they won't nap her enough. I'm sorry I don't have any answers. I thought letting you know you are not along or NUTS might help.
