Is 5 Hours Sleep At Night Normal For Baby?

Hi, my grandson is 7 months old and had 2 or 3 naps a day of approximately 30 mins each no more. At night he sleeps a max of 5 hours at a time before he wakes up. He is a calm baby and seems to be in good health a part from this. What do you think. Thank you.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
In my opinion every child has different needs for sleep and sleeping patterns.
If your child is otherwise normal then there is no need to worry about the amount of sleep he has.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
