LO's total hours a day

Burrberrymum · January 2014

Just curious how long your LO's day is?

From the moment they wake up in the morning until they go down for the night?

algalphys · January 2014

Usually about 12 hours

bpietronicco · January 2014

7:30-12:30

Nukke · January 2014

I've been really really embarrassed to say this... because I know so many of you are struggling with LO's sleep right now.... but... here goes...

Auli wakes up at 8am and goes right back to sleep until 10am. So... really she wakes up at 10am. She has about 4 or 5 naps a day, that last anywhere from 30 min to 2 hours. And goes to sleep in the evening around 8:30pm. She is up once at midnight when we go to bed (we wake her up to change her and feed her) and then she's up again around 5:30. I've been pretty lucky so far. Her "day" then is about 10.5 hours.

Usually up at 8 then back down for a 2 hour nap. Usually in bed by 11-12. Several short naps during the day and up 1-3 times in the night. Usually 3:00 and 5:30.

ejb23 · January 2014

Up at 7am down between 8-9pm

This is pretty much us too. Except DD wakes up at 2 am too, dream feeds and back asleep until 5-530ish

Zmommy2 · January 2014

It depends on if DD1 has preschool it not. On preschool days she wakes up at least by 7:45 or so (I have to wake her) but sometimes she'll wake up to eat and not go back to bed so it's earlier. On mornings when we don't have preschool she'll usually sleep till around 9 (after waking to eat anywhere between 5-7). She usually goes to sleep between 9:30-10:30... But she naps pretty crappy unless holding her or she's in the car seat. Other than that it's cat naps, and if she's in her bed it's like 10 min.. But she sleeps through the night so I'm not complaining. I am totally failing on the nap thing though.

Salemkitty13 · January 2014

He wakes up between 4 and 5 am. He goes to bed between 9:30 and 11:00. Sometimes he STTN but not always. He takes 3-4 naps a day for about an hour each. So total 10 to 11 hours

ETA. I forgot to add naps.

ravenclaw1 · January 2014

She's usually up around 4:30-5, eats real quick, down again until 7 on weekdays/8-9 on weekends. Random naps anywhere from 20 min-1 hr throughout the day (varies by day), asleep for the night around 10-11.

She STTN almost 100% of the time.

hmlynch84 · January 2014

LO is usually up around 6am to eat, then goes back down until 7:30am. So let's say he is up for the day at 7:30am and he goes to sleep at 8pm. So about 12.5 hours total.

Jupiter62 · January 2014

I don't know. It's all just a series of naps. When he's up at night, he's up for an hour before falling back asleep. When he's up during the day, he's up for an hour before taking another nap.

kailet · January 2014

She wakes up for the day anywhere between 6:30-8:30 and usually goes to sleep for the night around 7, but occasionally is up until 9 or 10. 2-3 naps during the day usually with one nap being longer (around 2-3 hrs) and the others being anywhere between 15 min to an hour.

As far as morning wake up to bedtime, I'd say average 12 hours but it varies by an hour or two.

ETA: accidentally posted before I was finished.

HBirdie · January 2014

Yup, I'm in the "series of naps" category too. He sleeps consistently from 11:30ish-5 or 5:30. Then goes back to sleep until 8, and he'll usually sleep from 8:15-10, but not always. After that, who knows. It varies every day.

OliveMom3 · January 2014

Slinging eggs over here. We have now passed the month mark of not sleeping for more than 2 hours at a time.
I'm. So. Tired.

michelle7482 · January 2014

Up at 6:30am, 2 or 3 naps that last 1-2 hours each, down at night at 7:30 with 1 or 2 wake ups.

DS wakes up around 7:00/7:30 goes to bed around 7:30/8:00

mmdd20 · January 2014

DD wakes up at 7 am (give or take a half hour either way) and is down for bed by 8 pm. She naps around 9 am, 1 pm, and 5 pm (this varies a lot, depends on her nap lengths).

kje120 · January 2014

If he hasn't woken up already I get him up by 7:00 on weekdays and he's in bed between 8:00 and 8:30 every night. Last night he slept from 8:30-6:45 (hallelujah!) He generally takes three naps at daycare (around 8:30, 12:30 and 4:00).

RoosterWrangler · January 2014

I don't want to talk about it.

noelani42 · January 2014

anywhere between 8:00-9:30 to about 7:30-9:00

Habs2Hart · January 2014

12 hours with naps in between. Not long naps and random. 1 hr is a long nap. He goes down at 7 and is up 1 or 2 times. He has slept through the night one time.

jjkaye · January 2014

He goes down at about 9:30 and sleeps until 6 or 6:30. His naps vary.

barnratash · January 2014

Up sometime around 7 down at night between 8:45-9:15. His napping has been random lately but he'll take typically 3 naps varying from 20 mins to 2.5 hours. Overnight he used to wake around 2:30am then around 5:30. Now it's all.the.time. I think it was every hour last night, at least it felt like it.
