Awake windows 7 week old

Our LB is 7 weeks old and his wake windows range from an hour to three hours
We’ve been told this is normal so not to worry
We just find ways to entertain him as he’s awake longer such as reading, using flash cards etc. ☺️

Hi 👋🏼 my little girl is 7 weeks old and I have noticed that she is harder to get to sleep for naps recently. She used to just fall asleep on me when she needed to but now I feel like I have to rock her for quite a while for her to nap even though she’s definitely tired. She normally naps for anywhere between half an hour to 3 hours just depends on what kind of sleep she’s having (deep sleep or light sleeping) and what’s going on around her but she is quite good at sleeping through noise as I always have the tv or something on when she naps in the day and have since she was born to promote good sleeping skills. She will mostly nap on me either while I hold her or by baby wearing as she’s hard to get down and I feel she sleeps so much better that way. Her wake windows are about an hour and a half long I would say but can vary.

Wake windows vary - sometimes he’s awake for an hour and a half sometimes he will fall straight back to sleep after feeding. He has slept more the last few days due to the heat. He can fall asleep in his Moses basket or sometimes he prefers to sleep on me then I’ll put him in his basket. I’ll read to him, use his flash cards, baby gym or put music on while he is awake 😄

wow 3hrs mine would be beside herself!

@Rebecca yeh mine is so hard to get to sleep... always has been yo be fair 🙈 I have to rock her, white noise and pat her bum every hour 🙈

Yeah we were shocked too but he’s quite content, he babbles to himself and has started to smile now
We just go with it unless he shows signs of being overtired which isn’t often x

sounds like you have a good napper there!

@Kayleigh this is great... but yes defo if he's content no issue. Mine gets grumpy as an hour being awake approaches 🙈

I’ve just been going with his cues and letting him tell me, so when he’s yawning or pulling his ears I put on his white noise and get him to sleep. Sometimes it’s 10 mins he’s awake between naps other times it’s about 90 mins but usually no longer than that. Certainly if he’s awake longer than 2 hours we are in for a shit night 😂
