Typically he has 2 awake periods per day. Usually around 3 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the early evening. tequiero21 on "How often does your newborn nap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-newborn-nap#post-164992 Tue, 22 May 2012 05:51:49 +0000 tequiero21 164992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ my kids are 7 weeks and change and their naps are horrible. but we're figuring things out and i'm hopeful that it'll get better. loveisstrange on "How often does your newborn nap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-newborn-nap#post-164990 Tue, 22 May 2012 05:28:56 +0000 loveisstrange 164990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO is 7 weeks and she is usually up for 1.5 to 2 hours between naps, including feeding and changing. Any longer than that and she starts to get cranky, although she does sometimes go 2-3 hours awake. Normally, she naps for about 30 minutes-1 hour but she takes one long 2-3 hour one in the afternoon. skibobrown on "How often does your newborn nap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-newborn-nap#post-164819 Mon, 21 May 2012 19:49:21 +0000 skibobrown 164819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It totally depends on the day. Some days she sleeps a ton, but more often she only takes short catnaps throughout the day. The result is that she gets totally overtired and cranky by the evening. I wish she was a better napper with a more consistent schedule, but so far she's not. (DD is 7 weeks old.)

In the mornings she sleeps from 7-9:30 or 10, but then she's awake for several hours. Once 1:30-2 rolls around, she's awake an hour or two and sleeps for two or three hours. I wish she would keep that schedule in the mornings as well because she gets overtired. regberadaisy on "How often does your newborn nap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-newborn-nap#post-164780 Mon, 21 May 2012 18:55:48 +0000 regberadaisy 164780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It depends on the day or week! I don't think she's on a schedule yet. Yesterday she slept almost all day and night. Waking only to feed. Today she had 2 half hour naps and 1 hr nap in my arms followed by 1 hr in her bassinet.

So, I guess that means a lot!@ Honeybee on "How often does your newborn nap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-newborn-nap#post-164632 Mon, 21 May 2012 16:26:54 +0000 Honeybee 164632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DS is 8 weeks, and his awake periods are about 1-2 hours long; that's including the time it takes to change and feed him. Most babies won't be awake longer than an hour or two at a time until the are over 3 months.

She has some period of wakefulness during the day/night but usually will wake eat and fall asleep again.
