2 months old not sleeping enough during the day?!

Question

My 2 months old girl is not sleeping well during the day. She takes a few 40 min naps and stays up for at least 1.5 to 2 hours in between these naps and only sleeps longer (for about 4-5 hours) from 8ish pm till around midnight 
Is this normal? Please share your daily schedule or tips how to help a baby sleep more

Answer

My 2 month baby is the same, hardly sleeps during the day, rare when he takes a 1 hr nap, but at night he sleeps from 10pm- 6am. 
I see it normal, but not sure if it is. My baby is he’s eating, gaining healthy weight, and helps momma and poppa by sleeping thru the night.  So I’ll take it, every baby is different don’t stress yourself out

Answer

My girl is 10 weeks and has been doing this since 8 weeks - 20-45 min cat naps during the day. Goes to bed for the night around 8-9pm and sleeps till 8/830am with wakes around 2am and 5am for feeds

Answer

My 7 week old is the exact same

Answer

My 7 week old does the same. Only sleeps for about 3 hours total during the day and still doesn’t sleep through the night (wakes ever 2-3 hours still). I try to start bedtime around 7:30 for an 8pm bedtime but he doesn’t sleep and will stay awake until almost 9:30/10!! Then wakes again at midnight and so on.... each baby is different but you’re not alone mama!

Answer

Sounds like baby might be overtired. That's some times cause for short naps. I would try to only keep baby up for 60 to 70 mins. My son (2.5 now) is a horrible sleeper my daughter (8 weeks old) is an amazing sleeper. So every kid is different. But I learned a little more about sleep since i needed some sleep in my life haha. My daughter can only last about 60ish mins between naps. She'll nap 1 to 2 hours. I always cap naps at 2 hours. Lately she's been giving about 8 hour stretches at night for us. Hope some of this helps!!

Answer

Not sure if “normal” but it’s similar to my son. He’s 9 weeks.
