At that age, (my DD is 5.5 months now), she could hold her head up pretty well and for quite a while. She's always had pretty good neck control.
I was bad about tummy time though, and didn't do it as often as I should.
She took 2 very long naps a day, and one or two cat naps. When I say long naps her morning nap was about 2.5 hours and afternoon 3 or 4 hours. But by 4 months I wouldn't let her sleep longer than 3.5 hours because then it was too close to her bedtime.
She was sleeping through the night since about 9 weeks old. Prior to that, she would wake up once to eat usually around 2/2:30 am.
As for bottles, she was and still takes five 6oz bottles a day.

how long can your dc hold their head up at a time (tummy time)? - i never timed it but a while, a minute?
how much tummy time do they get a day? - a hour or more
how much naps (how many and for how long)? - 2-3 naps a day, morning nap is 2 hrs, afternoon nap is an hour
night sleep? - 10-11 hrs at night, waking up 1-3x to cry
how many times do they eat in 24 hours? - now ds is eating 3 meals (oatmeal and fruit for breakfast, veggies and fruit for lunch and oatmeal and fruit for dinner) along with 4-5 6oz bottles
do they wake at night to eat?- i stopped feeding ds at night once he slept 6hrs at night.

THANKS!

DS will be 4 months old on July 20th
We need to do a lot of tummy time since he has torticollis but he hates it.
He sleeps from about 9 pm - 6/7 am swaddled
He takes about 5 bottles a day with 6 oz each. The stretches are weird though--sometimes 4 hrs in between/ sometimes 2 1/2 hrs.
He naps usually about after every 2 hrs of wakefulness

Re: moms of 3-4 month olds?
Paxton turned 4 months on July 4. He has extremely good neck control and sits in the exersaucer (sp?) already.
He gets about 5 6oz bottles a day and has started cereal in the am
He goes to sleep around 7:30 and will usually stir around midnight. I go into his room and place him on his belly. He then falls back asleep until 6am.
He usually takes about 3, 1 hour naps a day.

Re: moms of 3-4 month olds?

I dont know how long exactly, but she holds it 90 degrees and for a decent amount of the time she is on her tummy.
how much tummy time do they get a day?
A couple of times throughout the day, about 10 minutes each time. Whenever I can do it without the older one attacking her!!
how much naps (how many and for how long)?
She catnaps, just like her sister did. She takes 3-4 30-45 minute naps a day.
night sleep?
She has been an amazing sleeper at night - she gets about 12 -14 hours of sleep a night.
how many times do they eat in 24 hours?
I am bfing and she nurses 5 times a day, anywhere from 2-3 hours between each nursing.
do they wake at night to eat?
She does not wake at night.
THANKS!
