Evan sleeps a lot during the day too. He gets up around 5-6am, has a 6oz bottle, then naps in one of his swings for about 2hrs. He gets up & the cycle repeats. I would guess he naps about 10hrs a day or so plus another 7 at night.

THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO SLEEP DURING THE DAY?!
I get a good 1.5-2 hour nap, then his "twilight" nap as I call it which is between 7-9 and usually lasts for about 45 minutes. Dude is always awake. Sleeps well at night so I'm not complaining and is a total pleasure to have around. Just wish I had more chunks that I knew I'd have some "free" time (free = laundry, clean, OH, WORK, shower, wee, etc.)

^^^^That! He'll doze here and there during the day. I think he has a sensor that goes off if I try to start doing anything.  He spends his days in my arms, his bouncy chair for naps, or in a Moby wrap.

My Bennett sleeps probably a total of an hour each day, cut up into 10 minute naps. He's not much of a napper. Even now if I wear him in the Moby, he's just looking around, watching things as we move and walk. He does sleep all night though.

I don't think McKinley picked up on the newborns are supposed to sleep alot thing lol. Ever since I brought her home from the hospital she can be awake for 5 hour stretches. It's insanee. She dozes here and there and -very rarely- has days where she sleeps a lot. But what's great is that whenever we go in the car to go places she sleeps. So that's great. But yeah when home she's awake most of the time.

Pippa currently naps for no more than 2 hours total throughout the day...plus sometimes an evening nap and doesn't sleep more than 3-4 hours at a time most nights...she'll sleep more in arms (but not in a wrap anymore)...but as I'm going back to work and have to take her with me (preferably while she sleeps, I set my own hours), that is not going to work so we're working on her being able to sleep in the play pen...which is currently reducing the amount of sleep cuz she hates it, but I imagine it will get better as she gets used to it

Matthew wakes up around 8:30 when Ash gets us up, then is up for maybe 45min-1hr, sleeps until like 11, up for an hour max, naps for an hour, up for 30min, then repeat the 1hr nap up for 30min until around 7:30-8, then is up until around 10 with small 5-10min dozes, then usually around 10 he falls asleep and is asleep for the night, minus the nursing every 1-3hrs.

Adler takes a handful (like 3) of hour long naps during the day. He falls asleep really easily in the ergo for our morning walks and then takes naps in the bouncy chair in the afternoons if I'm not carrying him.

I've noticed we're kind of on a schedule now. Lucas goes to sleep for the night around 8-9 and wakes up at 5 to eat with dad. He gets put back in bed right before 6 and sleeps until about 9. He stays up until 11 and then sleeps a couple hours. He's up again for another 2 hours or so and then goes back to sleep until about 6 or 7. So basically he sleeps every 2 out of 4 hours during the day, basically 2 naps a day. The evening nap may be a little longer. Some days, like today where we were on the go all day, he only catnapped in the car and here and there while on me... then when we got home at 3 he slept until 6:30 and went to bed at 8:30.

Layne sleeps a lot during the day. We do have our days though where he just will not sleep during the day. Normally though he is up for a few hours and then passes out for an hour.

Jaxen sleeps very little in the day. She also has her twilight nap between 7-8am and then around 11am sometimes she'll fall asleep in the wrap on me for a couple hours. If I'm lucky 3 hours and then no sleep until bedtime (in bed at 10pm and falling asleep for 11ish). She'll snooze here and there for 10 minutes or as we call "faking us out". On rare occasions- if we are out-she'll sleep up to an hour in the car or stroller.
She sleeps all night and has been since I brought her home from the hospital. Lucky us. The catch is- she is awake and mostly fussy all day so I don't get a chance to do anything!

Tristan is awake 45 minutes to 1h 15 minutes and goes back to sleep and sleeps great at night! He needs his sleep or else he is overtired to settle down in the evening.

Liam naps about 5-6 hrs during the day. I try to put him down for a nap the same time as DS2 so that I get some free time. Thats usually right after lunch and he'll cat nap here and there for the rest of the day, maybe taking an hr nap in the morning and one in the evening...depends.
