Tell me about your 4-month old's daytime sleeps!

DD2 seems to need 3 or 4 daytime naps of about an hour each, most of which she has in her cot. In between she only seems able to stay awake for a maximum of 2 hours (and sometimes nowhere near this)

When awake, she's happy, active and responsive, but I don't seem to have much of a "window" to go out of the house! (She will not really sleep in the pushchair... may doze for a while but wakes unrested and stroppy)

Does this sound usual? DD1 used to have a longer period of wakefulness in the afternoon, which was when I did all my socialising. DD2 always wants to sleep at around 3pm.

BTW she is in bed between 7pm-7am and asleep all of that time apart from feeds at 11ish and 3ish.

What do other people do?

DS is 4.5 months and his days and nights are pretty much identical. He will sleep in the carseat or pushchair, but it doesn't seem as refreshing as normal sleep.

TBH, I just go out anyway, let him doze if he wants wherever he is, and then put him down for a nap later if he seems tired, or put him to bed early. I make sure he's awake by 5.30pm at the latest, but that's the only thing fixed.
