how do you keep baby awake during day?

Question

Two days ago we had a long doctors appointment that kept my baby awake for several hours because he has testing that needed to be done. That day was a little rough- but we slept 7 hours! The next day he slept more through the day so he woke every 4 hrs to eat again. After having a taste of how wonderful it was to have him sleep 7 hours long I am wondering if there are suggestions yoi moms have for stimulating him more during the day without creating a very unhappy baby that he's awake.
Thoughts?

Answer

Babies sleep better at night if they get good sleep during the day.

I am in same boat! I need to keep my baby up more...but not hold him the whole time either! desperate for ideas so we can sleep longer at night. :)

Answer

Honestly your baby will sleep 7 hours when he sleep 7 hours .. lol over stimulating a baby makes them very cranky . 😩 trust me my son slept 2 nights it's a rom 7 hours and the last two he's been back up and he's 9 weeks . He isn't usually down for the night until 11 or 11:30 he sleeps til about 330 4 I don't even try an out him down before 10:30 any more or he's up at least 3xs before 7 in the morning

Answer

Well I took mine for a longggg walk in the afternoon and then he ate so I held him up a bit and after he had a little nap and then I woke him up for a bath and in the night he was out cold, slept 7 hours. But any other ideas would be useful aswell.

Answer

I stick mine in his bouncy seat several times a day. He loves making the toys bounce and he burns off energy.
