Schedules / sleeping / Napping

How long is your 2 month old sleeping during naps and how often does he/she nap. I have been trying to follow the EASY method but it seems lately that during his awake time hes awake for 10 min and already yawning, does he really need another nap?

 Another question, at what age did you start a schedule? The only schedule we have is bedtime...

    My LO still sleeps a lot, not sure if that is because his adjusted age is 2 weeks? He wakes for feeds and sometimes stays awake after that for a bit or is awake for a bit beforehand but it's pretty rare. I think at 8 weeks, they generally sleep for about 15 1/2 to 17 hours each day with about 6-7 of that being during the day and the rest at night. I'm not familiar with the EASY method so I can't comment on that part but you can start sleep preparing as soon as they are born, with a very flexible schedule, and then start sleep training around the beginning of the 4th month. Naps then get more structured I think around the 5th or 6th months.

    DS is 10 weeks but only 6 weeks adjusted. 

    When he has been awake for 1.5 hours, if he seems tired (fusses or yawning), we lay him in bed awake.  Unless his colic is acting up, he will sleep usually a couple of hours, sometimes 1 hour sometimes 3 hours or more.  He will stir but able to go back to sleep since we put him down awake!

     Since he is still young, there are times when he is ready to go right back to sleep right after waking up and eating. 

    Also, when he's having a really colicy afternoon, naps are generally not longer than 45 minutes.

    This. Except he does take one 3 hour nap every day. Of course there is the occasional day where he hardly sleeps at all and then the days where he seems to sleep all day.

    Our LO is 5weeks, eats every 3hrs and we follow the EASY. After he eats he is usually awake for 75-90mins and then will nap for an hour-1.5. In the afternoon there is a stretch where he will only be awake for 20mins after to feedings and then sleeping for at least 3hrs.
