What's your longest stretch at night right now?

missamelia5 · July 2011

and how many/how long are the naps during the day? Addie sleeps for about 5 hours most nights, and then only sleeps off/on for the next 3 hours before she is up for the day. She takes two 3-hour naps during the day, plus a few catnaps here and there.

We usually get a 6-8 hour stretch at night, then another 3-4 hour stretch. If I cosleep in bed with her after that, we can stretch another few hours (feeding in between each stretch, of course).

She MIGHT nap for 1- 1 1/2 hours once during the day, otherwise its 20-30 minute catnaps. And honestly it's only in the past week she's starting to take a longer nap... but her night sleeping hasn't changed. She's EBF.

I get a 3 maybe 4 hours if I am lucky stretch and then it is 2 hours until we are up for the day and then she naps through the day with some hour interval awake times

MissManda · July 2011

In the last week or so, he's started being awake more duing the day. I get anywhere from 4-6 hrs, and then 2 more 2-3 hr stretches before we're up for the day (when I go back to work, I'll get up after the first shorter stretch). During the day, he takes a 45 min (or so) nap in the morning, and a longer (2-3 hr) nap in the afternoon. He then takes 2-3 cat naps (15-20 min) the rest of the evening.

DD is almost 2 months old and some nights we only get 3-4 hour stretches, other nights we get up to 7 hours. Some days she naps for 3 hours at a time, some days it's 20-30 mins max. There is no rhyme or reason to it -- the days she's up all day are not necessarily the same ones she sleeps well at night.

3 sometimes 4 hrs.He usually wakes to feed between 11 and 12 to eat the again at 3 or 4 then sleep until 7 or 8.

SweetieD21 · July 2011

We get a 7-8 hr stretch then another 2-3 hrs before waking up for the day. One good 2-3 hr nap, either in the morning or in the afternoon, then a few shorter naps throughout the day that are 30-60 min each.

At most we'll get 4 hours but it's usually right around 3, like clockwork, all throughout the day.

2 hours on average. <5 times she has had a 3 hour stretch.

Typically he does a 7-9 hour stretch. He eats and then usually does another 3-4 hour stretch. Then he is up for the day and will sleep maybe 3-4 30 min to one hour naps throughout the day.

I am dreading going back to work though because while he is sleeping through the night, he doesn't usually go to be until close to ten a lot of nights and so I haven't been getting to bed until 10:30-11 a lot of nights. I have to be up probably around 4:30-5 so I won't get that extra 2-3 hours of sleep after his first feeding. I guess I will start trying to get him in bed earlier and see how that works out.

brandioohoo · July 2011

typically, the longest stretch is 4-4.5 hours. that's the first stretch. after that she is up every 3 hours.

jaimeCRN · July 2011

We just now starting getting 5 hour stretches. During the day he stays up about an hour after each feeding and then naps for 1.5-2 hours. He takes 3-4 naps a day.

kacelle · July 2011

DD has 9 hour stretches some nights. I'm loving it!

This, exactly! And a couple times it's been 9 hours at night. Smile

DS goes to bed around 7:30/8 PM & we feed him & change his diaper at 10. (He hates being wet & will not last much past this if we don't.) He goes back to sleep very quickly at this point, usually finishing his feed asleep. We get a 4-5 hour stretch after that and then another 2-3 hour one most of the time. Sometimes he refuses to sleep in his crib after the 4-5 hour stretch but will sleep in his swing.

Samazing · July 2011

averaging around 10-11 hours every night

soon to be Mrs. Connolly · July 2011

Typicially 8.5 - 10 hrs.

Rachie_B · July 2011

Sophie still sleeps a lot during the day. She eats every four hours and naps for a while after each feeding. At night she'll usually sleep 4-5 hours eat and then sleep another 4 hours.

this. except a few times he has given us 5-6 hours which was amazing. he is EBF

FriskyMonkey · July 2011

DS is 6 weeks and does not sleep any longer then 3 hours. He wants to be feed every 3 hours like clockwork. He usually goes to sleep at 1030 at night and then is up every 3 hours until about 1030 in the morning. Then he has a nap in the afternoon and maybe a cat nap after supper. I am looking forward to longer sleep times at night.
