My DS is 7 weeks old on Thursday and is still only sleeping for 3 hours at a time max, unless we are out in the pram.
Is this fairly normall, what have others been like????

sounds pretty normal to me

yes i think thats quite good really.

That sounds pretty good. Why not put him in the pram indoors or in the garden if you're getting footsore from wandering around the streets.

My boys always slept in the porch in the pram. Or in the garden wrapped up nice and warm. Free fresh air and i got to watch telly!

My son is just over 7 weeks old and has just started sleeping for a blissful 5 or 6 hour stretch at nights (for past 2 nights anyway, hope it isnt just a fluke!). Before this it was 3 hours.
Not sleeping as much during the day now unless he is infront of the dishwasher/dryer/washing machine but at least it makes me fill all of the above so kinda kills 2 birds with 1 stone!

He will go 5 hours with out a feed now, but he doesnt sleep all of it. He has a feed at about 6pm and will go to bed at 8-830pm, and will poss go to 11pm before wanting feeding. And the same in the night but he will wake 2 hours before he is bothered about feeding!!
