Sleep Schedule

[maggie6424]

Does anyone have an older (10-14 weeks) newborn that is still sleeping a lot? DS is 12 weeks tomorrow and the longest he's awake is 3 hours if he's fighting sleep. However, normally it's 1.5 to 2 hours. Sometimes during the day he eats then wants to go right back to sleep. Pedi doesn't seem to be concerned, but I am fairly sure DS1 was awake longer and on a predictable routine by this age. I just think it's weird that he still sleeps so much.

My LO still cat naps a lot! She also takes a longer nap in the morning, afternoon and evening in addition to lots of snack nursing and napping. She will be 10 weeks tomorrow! I should probably focus on more restful naps in a dark, quiet place - but I only have 2 weeks left of maternity leave so I am soaking up the cuddles! 90% of her naps are in my arms. She usually wakes, eats, plays, then nurses to fall back asleep in 1.5-2 hr ncrements! She sleeps better in the night when she sleeps during the day, but we are still up every 3 hrs at night as well

Mine are 10 weeks tomorrow. Except when they are fussy in the evenings, they are only awake 1-2 hours at a time.

Ok, that makes me feel better. Even though it's only been 3 years since I did this with ds1, it's hard to remember those first few months clearly.

Don't feel bad about the snuggles, I desperately need to get stuff done around the house but LO only sleeps longer than 30m at a time while she is being snuggled!

My 10 week old lo still sleeps a ton the longest he is ever awake is 1.5hours and most of his naps are still on me as I'm soaking up as many snuggles as possible before going back to work next week!

I think we all have the same idea with baby napping on us! Gotta get as many baby snuggles as we can before back to work! And they smell so good, and snuggle just right!
