It's almost always 30 minutes! Yep! Only 30 minutes! After which, she's ALLLLL charged-up and back to her playing routine! That's baby Sarah!!She hardly sleeps for more than half an hour during her day time naps. Even at night - getting ready for bedtime. We'll normally put her to sleep later at night (say 11+... then she will sleep throughout until morning). Sometimes she sleeps at 11, but wake up at 11.30... and continue playing until about 1am (like last night!). If she happened to be sleepy and cranky by 10+, we will try to avoid putting her to sleep... but if she insist on sleeping (in this case - a nap!), she will only sleep for half an hour and that's it for that night until 12+ or 1+am... sigh! She's just so energetic! Her "battery" is fully charged after half an hour of sleep. She's happy after that, and back to her "non-stop" activities on the floor. Yep... literally non-stop! She just wouldn't sit still!
In some researches, it says babies (around her age) sleeps between 12-16 hours a day... and by 12 months, many babies still sleep 12 to 14 hours altogether, including one daytime nap. hmm... I think her total hours doesnt even reach 12 hours! Oh boy... really need help in getting her to sleep more... and at the right time too!

:) Love her smile in the first picture. Hang on there yea! It shows that she's a healthy baby.
fren, next time at night when she woke up, try not to look at her eyes or direct contact with her eyes, if u do, she will take it as playing time or wake up time.
so stay away looking into her eyes, then slowly put her back to zzz...
only look at her eyes when she sleep..hahahaha
i learn it from baby book and it works for me.
steff, it will be quite difficult to put her back to sleep because she will either be crying (sign to carry her up) or if not, she will be turning n actively moving in the yaoyao. how like tht?
