how long is LO sleeping?

I'm curious how long everyone's babies are sleeping (and how many days they've been here).

My LO started sleeping about 6 hours a night from week 1, but then the last few days has been having miserable sleeping habits. Then last night, she slept for 8 hours (fussed a bit after 6 hours but put herself back to sleep)!!! She is 3 weeks 3 days old. Is anyone else's baby so sleepy?

I also noticed that the length of time she'll sleep is directly linked to how many times she cluster feeds between 6 and 10pm (we all try to get to sleep by 10pm these days). Last night she wanted to feed every half hour, and usually she wants to feed once an hour in the evening.

    We have our LO on a pretty good schedule! We feed him at 830p, swaddle him and put him to bed then we feed at 11p, 3a, and 630a is our morning feeding. We recently just merged the 2a and 5a feedings into the 3a and he adjusted well! I've been reading baby

    DH and I read Babywise and were really big on it, but our pedi and lactation consultant were REALLY against it.

    We are planning on using it as a guide once we get to week 6...

    Our baby is 3 weeks and EFF.  He feeds every three hours so he is awake for about an hour to eat or hour or two and then sleeping the rest of the time.  Never has slept more than 3.5-4 hours.

    That makes sense! We don't use it as he has to eat exactly at the same time everyday, whenever he shows hunger cues I feed him even if it's before the 2.5-3hour mark.  And last night he ate at 130 instead of 3 because that's when he was hungry...I wa

    My 3 week old is not and has not slept for the amount of hours as your LO! Her longest stretch is about 3 hours at night, which for three weeks is fine by me.

    My LO is 2 weeks today. She usually wakes up 3x between 8 am6 am for feedings. She goes on average 33.5 hours between feedings, but I have a feeling if we gave her a little more the last feeding she might give us a 44.5 hour stretch. We had our weight app

    We don't do schedules, we feed when he's hungry and the only time I'll wake him to feed if is if he sleeps more than 4 hours during the day. He sleeps about 6 hours straight at night and has since he was 2 weeks old, then wakes up every 3 hours or so to

    Our LO does about 3-4 hour stretches at night. We do bottles around 12 am and 3 am which are half BM and half formula. The rest of her feedings are all BM.
