How much is your one month old sleeping?

Marcilene1 · June 2012

My son is still sleeping most of the time. My daughter was definitely more alert by this age. She is definitely very high energy and all over the place (has been from the very beginning). My son seems to have a more laid back personality. Maybe that's why he sleeps so much? What are your LOs doing?

With Madison it is kind of day to day. Like Monday through Wednesday she was awake most of the day but last night she slept for 6 hours, then 4 hours, and is now asleep again and I have a feeling it's going to be like this the rest of the day.

My Madison is exactly the same! She has been wide awake during the day for most of this week. Last night she slept for 5.5 hrs then 2 hours and now is zonked out again. Usually when she is napping this early in the morning it is a pretty sleepy day for her, but only time will tell!

Hmm...see maybe I should be worried because he is never awake for more than an hour tops. Is this normal?

My 5 week old has the same pattern everyday. He eats, stays awake for 45 mins, then falls asleep between 1-2 hrs..then repeats ha..so he is asleep majority of the time.. he is such a chill baby, never crys when he is awake and you can put him down anywhere and he just hangs out

This sounds like my son, too. I'm just not used to it b/c DD is such a psycho lol.

My first daughter slept a ton. It was actually a big impediment to breastfeeding.

This one is way more alert and high needs. I would guess she's sleeping 14-15 hours a day now at 5 weeks. It's about 10 hours total at night and 4-5 hours during the day.

DD1 was still sleeping about that much at 2 years old!

It's very normal for babies to sleep a lot, I understand what your saying my last baby never slept either. This lo is like a dream he sleeps well and is happy most of the time. Enjoy your calm baby it sounds like you've earned it.

Connor is dayby day too. Normally he will be awake most of morning from 6am to 12pm, taking 20 min naps here and there. Then if we run errands, he's asleep from 12-3ish, then has a wake to eat, sleep cycle until around 7pm, then he'll be up for an or so before we start our bedtime routine. If we don't run errands, there's no telling what he'll be like..

Owen is usually awake from 7am-10am and then naps from 10am-1pm from 1-3 he eats/naps kind of randomly and then is usually awake from about 3-6 or 7, he then will nap until 8. At 8 we do bedtime routine (bath, lotion, pjs, eat) and he goes to sleep around 9. He usually sleeps about 3-4 hours the first time, then 2-3 hours following that.

I've noticed a patten emerging in the past week or so... Mine has a longer nap mid morning (3-4 hours) in the swing. Other than that she is pretty alert for hour stretches with little cat naps in between. Other than the long stretch she may nap for 30 min to an hour just depending on the day.

Totally normal and I read an article from someone on here that at that age falling asleep again before 1 hour is good for them so they don't get overtired.
