Sleep and Your 4-7 Month Old

By this age, your baby should be well on the way toward an established sleep pattern. Most likely the pattern includes at least two naps a day, plus at least 7 or 8 hours of night time sleep.

During these months, your baby will probably learn to roll over and position himself for sleep. Toward the end of this period, he may be able to stay awake or be kept awake by surroundings, so this is the time to instill good sleep habits by sticking to a bedtime routine.
