My baby is 1 month 5 days old. some days he sleeps nicely but some days he will be awake whole day and sleeps only at night for 6-7 hrs. kindly advise if this is normal or need to worry about. I have heard baby sleeps for 17-18 hrs.

A. A minimum sleep should be 8 to 10 hours which is a must for overall mental and physical growth of your child if your child is sleeping for minimum 8 to 10 hours also which is essential then you should definitely consult your doctor and your kids for 16 to 18 hours also but not all the kids some kids for 8 to 10 to 12 hours also also
