during the day she gets up for a couple hours before she goes back down for a nap, but in the evening, she is awake for much longer usually...3+ hours!
There have also been a few days where she is awake most of the day, only taking two 1-hour naps!
If I wear her in a sling during the day lately, she'll sleep all afternoon - getting up around 3-4pm and staying up for a longer stretch.

I've never really watched the clock, but i know it varies from day to day. I feel like he's only awake for an hour or so at a time most days then naps for 30 mins-3 hours. Very unpredictable.
Obviously you can't tell by her picture below, but Brittyn is quite awake during the day now. She has a huge wide awake span in the morning (3 hours or so), and then a pretty big span in the late afternoon (2-3 hours), and everyday she seems to be awake from 8 or 9 at night until around midnight. It makes it hard to get everything done during the day.
we're averaging 1 - 1.5 hours of wake time, including feeding & diaper change, then he goes back down for a nap (although right now we're having issues with him STAYING asleep) for another 1 - 1.5 hours.
Henry usually has at least two really long "awake" periods during the day, though it can vary when they are. But often one in the late morning/early afternoon and another in the evening he'll be awake for 2-3 hours at a time. Fortunately he spends most of that time pretty content and alert, rather than fussy (knock on wood!!)

I don't think he's ever awake for that long at a stretch. He wakes up every 2-3 hours or so for a diaper change and feeding, and then stays awake maybe 30-45 minutes after some of the feedings. Other times he just goes right back to sleep for another 2 hours.
Re: 1 month old - how long are LO's awake times?
Same here.
She MIGHT be a little more awake if we're going out that day, but even then she falls asleep in the car usually.
