How long are naps?

My twins are 7 weeks old (I'll get a signature on here as soon as I get my computer back- it crashed over the holidays and fell to the bottom of the priority list.  Don't have time to figure out signature on Blackberry...)

Is there a recommended length of time for naps?  We are good with a 2.5 hour to 3 hour feeding schedule, but the naps seem to be all over the place.  From short (20 min) to long (2 hours).  And, of course, they are not consistent with who's sleeping long or short. 

Thanks in advance!

My boys were not on a consistent nap schedule until they were around 4 months old. Until then, they just slept when they fell asleep and would wake up when they were hungry! And they didn't really sleep in their cribs for naps until 5 months. I just let them sleep where ever they fell asleep, either the boppy, the bouncer or the swing.

Sorry I'm not more helpful, but I think babies that young are hard to have on a specific napping schedule.

At 7 weeks, my only goal was to get them to sleep between each feeding.  We eventually feel into a short-long-long-short pattern around 3 months.
