My baby is 4 months and three weeks.
She isn’t sleeping in the afternoon past an hour and she is awake the rest of the time.
Is this normal?
Is this how it should ?
Any one babies sleep patterns change?
I read babies should be awake for just 2-4hours in the day. She is strictly breastfed.

My baby is 4 months and 2 weeks and she is sleeping nice long periods overnight but will only nap for around 30-45 mins at a time at the moment. She’s having 4 naps in the day so is getting about the same as this. She has been following 1 hour and 30-45mins wake windows and seems to be doing fine with this. I believe babies of this age should be getting around 15 hours sleep in a 24 hour period (Im just going by research I have done myself but its working for us🤞🏻)

That’s honestly complete rubbish.
All babies have different sleep needs and thresholds.
Keep eyes out for sleepy cues, little one will tell you when they need to sleep 🥰

Not sure where you read they should only be awake for 2-4 hours, but it’s untrue!
Our LB is 5 months old and naps for about 3 hours a day, and his night sleep is between around 7pm-6am. Every baby is different though. Are you actively trying to get her down to nap when she is showing signs of being tired? X
thank you
yes. I try to get her to nap when she is tired, but she ends up sleeping for less than an hour. I felt maybe i wasn’t carrying her enough. So I tried to hold her to sleep but its been the same thing. But thanks. I just want to be sure I wasn’t doing something wrong.
