Sleeping question

How much does your 6-7 week old sleep? Thanks!

I was a totally neurotic mom and wrote everything down. I just checked my handy dandy book. At 6-7 weeks, he was going down "for the night" between 7-9 and sleeping until anywhere from midnight to 3am. He would wake once for a feeding and then go back down. Or he would wake in the early AM (like 4am) and then wake just a couple of hours later.

During the day, he was only taking catnaps if we laid him down, but if I wore him he would sleep longer like 1-2 hours at a time. He was taking 3-4 naps a day during that time.

Audrina is just one day younger than Anna and she usually goes down between 8:30-10 and sleeps 5-7 hours then does 2 3 hour stints. During the day she takes 2 1 hour naps in the morning a 4 hour nap in the afternoon a one or two other cat naps during the day.

Mine still thinks night time is party time...or, at least, fussy time. Haha. So, I'm not getting enough sleep to begin to answer this question. TOTALLY jealous of you people getting long stretches!!! I think the longest he has gone is three hours, and he did that once. Stick out tongue

I can't complain about night time, she usually gives us a 3 hour stretch. But during the day, no matter how tired she is, she does NOT want to sleep (i get maybe 20 minutes out of her unless im holding her). So I was wondering what other chickadees her age were doing.

Oh the VAST majority of his sleep is while he's held. We're just starting to be able to put him down at times. My first DS was like this, too, so DH and I have to do shifts... Much harder now with a toddler to boot.
