how much sleep ??

prior to bubs 6 week growth spurt he was a fantastic sleeper.. up for 2 hours max during the day and sleeping up to 3 hours at a time... and 2 x 5 hours sleep at night... talk about heven right ?!?!?!

Now.. hes up for almost 4 hours at a go and up 3 times in the night for a feed and a nappy change..

Not through lack of trying.. i feed him the same and have kept to the same "sleep time" routine.. but its not working

I know they start to sleep less during the day and become a bit fussier now but what should i expect now at 9 weeks old ?? How much sleep is 'enough'

any advice or www info muchly appreciated..

P.s he does seem very happy and content when awake and i dont think im missing any tired signs.. he just wont sleep !!

thanks in advance

i keep reading every where that they should have about 15-17 hours at this age..

hes having about 4 hours in the day and 9 at night
total of 13 most 24 hour periods...

The thing about books is that numbers like those are usually just averages, and not every baby is going to fit - some have to fall on either side of "normal".

You also can't force a baby to go to sleep, only encourage them gently.
