How long is baby awake?

Question

How long is your little one awake in a full 24 hour day? I feel like all my baby does is sleeps lol obviously she sleeps a lot during the day but she sleeps a lot at night too. Usually 4 hour stretches and last night was an 8 hour stretch 🤯 she wakes to eat every 2 hours during the day and goes right back to sleep. She has enough dirty/wet diapers. She is usually awake maybe 2 full hours in 24 hours. She is 4 weeks old.

Answer

My baby is 5 weeks old. She eats every 2 hours or more often and sleeps in between.  I try not to let her stay awake longer than 45 min at a time because she will lose her mind from being overtired if she does. After she has her witching hour(s) from around 8/830-1030/11, she pretty much sleeps all night. She wakes up every 2-3 hours overnight to eat, but if I get her to the boob fast enough she doesn’t really fully wake up. Does that make sense?
Babies still need a lot of sleep at this stage! You’re doing great.

Answer

My little guy is 3 weeks. He’s actually awake a lot more than I expected! I’d say all together he’s awake about 4-5 hours of the day. He’s only content about an hour of that. The rest of the time is him being fussy and crying 😢 he does sleep well at night though.

Answer

My baby is 6 weeks. He usually sleeps for 3-4 hours at a time through the night and then eats every 2 hours during the day. Most days he'll keep napping until about 3 and after that he refuses to sleep until around 9.

Answer

She’s a newborn lol newborns really don’t do much other than sleep. It’s super normal! Our youngest is 2 weeks old and eats every 2-3 hours. She’s back to sleep before she even finishes the bottle lol so she’s only awake maybe 15-20 minutes at a time. And then she has one stretch in the late afternoon where she’s randomly awake for an hour or two refusing to go back down lol not moody or anything. Just awake and hanging out. Our oldest was the same way and was sleeping through the night consisyently by 5 weeks.
