I think the first 3 months were a big blur but I'm pretty sure they were only awake during their bottle feeding.

What you described is pretty normal I think.

I never thought they should more awake. I did have twins that were born at 34 weeks so they would be more sleepy than a full term baby. 37 weeks is considered full term. It all seems normal to me.

He's been alert since maybe 3-4 weeks. I only recall that because any time my mom held him she always wanted him to go to sleep. It's rare for him to stay up more than 90 minutes at a time, but he's usually up 30-45 minutes a few times a day. He's still a rather sleepy baby at 2 months old.

Around 5 weeks. DH used to comment how LO2s eyes were always closed but now he sees he is much more alert. Part of it is having a big brother who likes to keep him awake.

I feel around 6-8 weeks he became more alert and awake. He's 14 weeks now and sleeps about 8-9 hours overnight and a few naps during the day at home. But if we're out and he's in the car seat, he's dead to the world no matter what so that could be 3 hours in a row some days.

My first baby was alert from the day she was born, and only slept for a few hours a day from birth. The second one was mostly asleep until 10 weeks, and I enjoyed every moment of it.

Mine were still sleepy at 2 months. Plus, it's a little deceptive to refer to 37 weeks as term. Remember that 37 weeks is full term for some babies, but for some it's up to 4 weeks early! So, depending on your LOs own trends, baby may only be 4 weeks old, developmentally. Try to enjoy, I bet LO will be waking up soon!
