Sleep like a Baby

Sleep like a baby, it really is such an odd statement. We say it when we mean we've slept well but in all actuality babies tend to sleep for short periods of time and wake up crying.

But they do generally sleep a lot, 16-18 hours a day is pretty normal. But my little Guiny doesn't want to miss any of the action, and thus hates taking naps. She's also unfortunately a very light sleeper, so if she falls asleep on me I don't dare try and put her down. My best plan of attack so far is when she's good and grumpy tired l lay her down on the bed and feed her till she's sound asleep and then quietly sneak off to get something done, if I'm lucky I might get a half hour out of it.

So what about you? How do your little ones sleep?
