sleep question

Approx how many hours a day does your baby sleep and what age. My daughter is 7 weeks and I worry that she sleeps way too much. It is 3:15 and so far this is her schedule

slept until 7:15 am
awake from 7:15 -10:15 (one small cat nap)
Slept from 10:15-1:30
Awake from 1:30-2:45
Sleeping still from 2:45

Re: sleep question

I think that's pretty normal. At that age, after 1-2 hours of wakefulness they usually are ready for a nap and the nap can be any where from 30 min to 3 hours from the books I read. Just be happy she's a good sleeper and napper.

I think thats normal too. I believe when they're little like that, they just basically eat and sleep all day. They need their sleep because they have so much growing to do. Some days they will sleep a lot and some days they won't. Hopefully you have a good sleeper.

ThANKS!

Re: sleep question

I remember reading about how babies sleep more hours than they're awake. I wish for my situation. Andrew was colicky and averaged about 6-7 hours a day.

So I would say that there isn't a 'normal' amount. And I'm jealous of your daughter's schedule!
