Too Much Sleep?

I've been blessed with two fairly easy going babies (I'm just waiting until they hit the terrible twos, or teenage years and we will get paid back for these easy few months!). They were born at 35.5 weeks. and turned 11 weeks on saturday. Both are gaining weight very well.

My basic question is about if they're getting enough awake time, and should I be worried? Their awake time, including feedings, hovers around 75 minutes each time, and sometimes it's barely an hour before they start yawning and rubbing their faces into things. Thoughts?

Here's our daily schedule, more or less

7:30/8 am Wake up and bottle time. After eating, activity like tummy time or books
9-9:15 am Down for a nap, swaddled
11:45/12:15 Wake to eat at some point, followed by more "play" time
1-1:30 pm Down for a nap, swaddled
4 pm Wake for bottle
4:30-8 Sort of free time, they cat nap, we play, this is when I give them a bath if it's that day. We also sometime take them out for dinner
8 pm Bottle and a little low key play time
9/9:15 Down, swaddled
12:45-1 am Bottle and right back down

Of course now that I posted this, they will stop sleeping completely, because that's the way my life goes!

 

That is awesome! :Clap:

My boys just started sleeping all night. There are still some nights that I am up most of the night but its getting better.

 

That is great! Their schedule sounds like it is working for them! When mine were that young they did 90 minutes awake/90 minutes sleeping all day. Sometimes it was closer to 60 minutes awake 2 hours asleep, it just depended on how alert they were. They stayed like that until they developed a 3 nap schedule, somewhere around 4 months old.

 

That is great they are doing so well

It sounds like they´re right on track to me. Mine coud only stay awake for an hour at a time at that age so yours are doing great! Keep up the good work!
