how much should they sleep?

My LOs are 7 weeks old (not adjusted age) i feel like they sleep A LOT and not very schedules!!! i would say at most they are awake 2 hours a day maybe a little more.  DS will easily get over tired and need to be put to sleep.  Am i letting the LOs sleep to much? here is what my day looks like....

6am bottle everyone awake hopefully back asleep by 8 nap til..

9am bottle

awake for maybe 1 hour... then hopefully nap

1pm bottle

nap by 2:30 usually sleep until 4:30 or 5 ish

5pm bottle

then some times awake (i try to play with them around 7 pm or to wake them up a bit)

8pm (they are awake for this) start bedtime clean up (bath or warmcloth wipe down) change into PJs head upstairs for bottle by 9pm (usually screaming for some reason??)

now sometimes they will sleep from 10p to 4a and then wake again at 6am but every once and a while they like to wake a 2am then again at 4 am and then at 7am

I feel like there is very little time my LOS are awake and not screaming b/c they are hungry or over tired.  I have come to learn DS gets bored very easy and needs to be entertained otherwise you can confuse his cry w/ over tired and he does wake more during the day DD will sleep all day if you let her!!! am i doing something wrong?

  • It's funny you asked that question as I did yesterday- you can look up some of the answers that they posted if you'd like, I don't think my post is too far down.  I got a few replies and they all said everything seems to be good, so I'm guessing the same for you, although my boys are a bit older than your children :)
