to those with 14 week old dc ...how long do they sleep ?

[robinredbreast]

as my dd doesnt sleep at all in the day and im wondering is this normal?
and id like to hear other peoples experiences

robin my DS is a little bit older than that now but he was sleeping about 3.5-4 hours during the day at that age, then in bed asleep in the evening from 7. Awake about 5.30-6ish in the morning.

I'm sure many people will post with similar experiences to you but just to give you an idea of what happened with us.

thanks its just nice to be able to se what other babies do

do you mind if i ask how you fed your ds and the sleep during the day was it at set times or just random

My 14 week old ds sleeps very randomly thro day, dozes on and off but prefers to sleep in chair or moving pram! Not happy to be put down to sleep in moses basket, tho at night he's quite happy in it (tho almost too big for it!) He feeds every 3 hrs BF and I try to time it so the last one is about 8pm

DS is bottlefed, at that stage I think he was feeding at 7, 10.30, 2.15 and 6, then at 10.30. I think I'm remembering that right - he's almost 5 months now.

Sleeping was about 45 minutes-an hour starting sometime between 8 and 9, depending on how long he'd been up for, sometimes a weeny nap about 10, again depending on sleep the previous night, then a couple of hours lunchtimeish, then usually 30 minutes ish sometime around 4-4.30.

My DD is 14 weeks. The last few weeks she has started to have a regular nap between an hour and a half and two hours after she wakes up for the day. Before this she had no regularity at all and would go some days without a nap at all and others sleeping almost all day! Now, her morning nap generally lasts half an hour, then she'll be ready for another a couple of hours later. dd is and always has been incapable of independent sleep so it's sling, bf or car. We've ended up co-sleeping at night and she sleeps well - i generally get a six hour stretch and she sleeps quite late in the morning. I sometimes worry about her inability to sleep independently and wonder how this will change, but then think shd count blessings she sleeps so well at night, and she's still only tiny.
