LO is 11 weeks old. He slept last night for a 6 hour stretch, which is the best he's ever done! I don't want to get my hopes up, but normally his sleep is 2-3 hour stretches which is hard, as i continue to exist being exhausted.
He's a not a good sleeper during the day either. Maybe 45 minute catnaps, then awake from 45 minutes to 2 hours....my day seems like a constant battle of him being fussy and over tired and me trying to get him to go to sleep.
Yesterday we played with the glow worm, had some tummy time, watched baby einstein and then he passed out sitting on my knee....so maybe that's what i need to keep doing--trying to stimulate his motor skills and mind so he gets tired...anyone else?
Re: How much does LO sleep during the day?
This - my DS is 9 weeks and he sleeps a good amount still, I only have him away from 45 minutes to 90 minutes max during the day, then back to sleep. I watch carefully for his tired cues and adjust accordingly. This works much better for him. About 3 weeks ago I was keeping him up longer, and he wasn't sleeping well at all during the day and I was having days like you describe. Since putting him to sleep sooner, it's gotten so much better and he falls asleep on his own - I never have to rock or hold him. He sleeps 4 hour stretches at night, sometimes 5.
