How is "awake" time spent?

BabySuz · October 2013

My DD is 5 weeks, and I feel like I am always trying to get her to go back to sleep! I figured it out, and she is currently awake for about 8hrs in a 24 hr period, but that's all averaging out to be about an hour between sleep/naps. When she wakes, it's pretty much time to feed, do a diaper change, play for about 15mins, and then swaddle and rock back to sleep. Does that sound about right? My DS is 3 years old, and he was not a big napper at 5 weeks already, so while it feels like I am always putting her back to bed, maybe it's just right for her age? I go based off her cues, it's just so different from how my son was so just wanted to check in with other mom's and see if this is how things are going with you. Thanks in advance for the replies!
