Caring for infants and young children is a difficult job that requires a lot of time and effort. Babies from 11 to 12 months old have higher energy needs than other ages and are often more active and curious about the world around them. Establishing a feeding schedule for 11-month-old and 12-month-old babies is a good thing to do to meet their basic needs.

The total sleep time of a 6-9 month old baby is about 14-15 hours per day. Many babies sleep through the night or sleep for a long time, and only take 2 short naps in the morning and afternoon during the day. However, babies may have difficulty sleeping because they are used to their mother's scent, are active, or have pain from teething.
