How long does your baby sleep?

ssiiiiiss · January 2011

Hi everyone,

I'm feeling a little anxious today - DD will sleep for 3-4 hours at a time in the recliner with me but only 2 hours at a time in her RockNPlay. She is 7 weeks old. I guess my question is a 2 part question -

1. How long does your LO sleep in their crib/RockNPlay/Bassinet and

2. Are you still sleeping with your LO? If so, has your doctor yet told you that it's habit-forming? I am afraid I'm creating a sleeping monster by doing this! At some point in the night though I give up and say if I'm going to sleep and be able to function the next day, off we go to the recliner.

my DD is finally at the point where she will sleep for about 4 hours for her first stretch of sleep (from about 11pm-3am), then she has a little bit of a restless sleep from 3am-6, and then if i'm lucky, she will let me put her back down for another hour, but she is usually ready for the day at 6. hoping to stretch her first 4 hours to 5.

We're a couple of weeks behind you, but our LO will sleep 2 1/2-4 hour chunks through the night in her PnP. But during the day, she likes to sleep on me. Sometimes I can put her down in her bouncy chair with some white noise playing and occasionally she'll sleep in her PnP for a bit, but she always naps longer in my arms. The pedi says that she can't be spoiled for the first few months and she feels safer in my arms-she was used to being carried 24/7 for the past 9 months.
