6 week old taking only 2/3 naps a day?

[Suehuang99]

my 6 week old daughter has been a good sleeper since she got back from hospital, however her habits/schedule seem to be complete opposite of what is advised/normal for her age & i'm wondering if it's okay to leave her as is or if i should be trying to get her closer to normal

she sleeps normally 11pm-6am ish, then feeds, then 7am-9am. then she is awake for most of the day, except nap 11-1ish and 4-5ish. from 5pm she will be up for the evening eating & playing

I read yesterday that 6 week old wake windows should be only 1hour & now i'm worried, she just wouldn't be tired after 1 hour so i'm not sure whether this matters or not

any advice?

Your daughter sounds absolutely fine. Ditch the books! There are no hard and fast rules about babies, they are individuals.

As she is only six weeks old it is not too late to say, "Congratulations to you", on the birth of your baby.

Is she happy? Is she healthy? Then just carry on with what she's decided she wants to do!

Are you actively doing things to try and put her to sleep or just waiting for her to fall asleep herself? At that age I was giving mine a gentle rock after one our of seals time and putting her down for a nap. Babies are all different and have different needs but awake times of 3+ hours I would say is too long at that age.
