moms of 8 weekers - naps and general routine

[New2Bumps]

Hi I'm not really one for enforcing a routine, I'm baby-led particularly for the first 3 months. I'm just curious as to the eating and sleeping habits of other little ones at 8 weeks.

My LO has got himself into a good pattern at night-time, generally feeding at 12, then half 3 ish, then half 6 to 7am. If he hasn't woken by half 12 I do put him to the breast and he dream feeds but this has only happened a couple of times. I do believe that he should still feed regularly even through the night until he is at least on solids pLus with growth spurts and what not he will need that feed and I don't want my supply to have to constantly readjust. So after morning feed he snoozes for about 40 mins then is awake. He seems to want to feed more frequently during the day, and often will be feeding again about 8 - half 8 and is on off for an hour. The rest of the day is random possibly due to the fact that I'm out and about so he sleeps at diff. times depending on when he is in the car or pram/carrier. Usually he cluster feeds from about 4 and sleeps about 8 and wants to be on me napping or eating during that time unless like I said he is out and about!

Please share how your LOs average day looks!

P.s. does anyone have N idea of how many hours sleep the average baby has at this age?

My little man is 10 weeks. He feeds about every 2 hours during the day, cluster feeds from tea time until around 10(doesn't go to sleep til after 11 for some reason) and wakes once in the night before getting up anytime between 6:30 and 8:30. Naps can be any time and any length. As you say, it depends what we're doing as he always falls asleep in the pram.

my daughter is also 10wks (kitabird..our lo's are the same age. You also got a 12/12/12 baby )
Matilda will wake about 7.30 and feed in bed for 15/20mins. We all get up at 8am and she has her awake time till 9..sleeps till 10.30am. She'll then cluster feed till 2-2.30pm where she'll have a good feed then sleep a good couple of hours. Ive just started popping in her cot for this nap cos my sons home for half term and keeps waking her with his general rowdiness! She's tje same when we're out too..she gets very upset if she doesnt get her long afternoon sleep lol. she'll then wake between 4/5pm and cluster feed again and generally be awake and alert till bed time at 8pm..big feed before bed. She'll sleep through till 2.30/3am for a feed and thats usually it lol. She does sometimes feed about 5/6am..well she has this week cos weve been sleeping in a bit kn a morning

Shes just kinda settled into this routine herself..im completely baby led (as much as I can be with a 4yr old aswel) but she's just kinda slipped into our exsisting routine quite well.
