Hi, Yes, babies as young as 14 months should be sleeping more, but I think need not worry too much, if he is having sound sleep for whatever time he is sleeping. The things that you can try for baby to sleep more is, you can play soothing music to create the atmosphere for him to doze off. You can also make him play with his toys or keep him without the swaddle to let him kick his hands and feet as much. This will exhaust him and he will have a sound sleep. By now he must be crawling or trying to walk with support, so let him do as much activity, as when he will be tired, he will take more or longer naps. Feed him well. When the tummy is full, babies take longer naps, as generally wet diaper or hunger wake them up before time.

Hi there, i generally agree with thte above comment or. Try to tire the child more but not too much otherwise they will be cranky and b even harder to put to sleep and the next nap will be even shorter sometimes. I try to time it in such that i will put him to sleep within an hr of his meal/feed so that the full feeling can make them a bit drowsy and keep them full in their sleep too. I could also be just a sleep regression phase tho t typically happens abt 12 months - but hey, every baby is different
