How long should my baby be awake in the day?

Question

My sons 7 weeks, and he’s started being awake around 8-11am, and 6-9pm. 2 hour naps max, and awake around 30-60min otherwise. 
He’s still going to bed around 10pm, and waking 2am, 5am and then 8am. 
Eating normal, every 2-3 hours. 
Just wondering if this is normal for now? Formula fed and born 5 weeks early. 
Thanks 😊

Answer

7 week old here and he's got roughly the same sleep schedule. My LO is Up for 1-3 hr then can nap for 2-4. He gets fed every time he wakes up from a nap or if he's awake long enough(3hr or more)  a smaller amount(2oz) before he falls asleep again. We try to get him to sleep around 10. A couple nights he slept from 10-4 😳 got some good sleep that night.

Answer

In the perfect world he would be awake 1 hour and then sleep for 2 hours. Baby’s shouldn’t really be awake more than about an hour at a time

Answer

My baby is 7 weeks as well, feed almost every hr, sleep only 1 hr-2hr during the night, so clingy and always want to be carried.
