Just curious as to how long everyones babies go between sleeps during the day?
Ella is normally up for between 1 1/4 hrs to 1 1/2 hrs between sleeps. Also how long does your night-time routine normally last? ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

That's about how long Daniel is up for.
Our nighttime routine goes for about 45mins |

Night time I try to have a turn around of 50 minutes. and that includes a good ten minutes of back rubbing to settle him and make sure there are no lingering burps!
During the day he's up for probably anything from an hour to two, depending on how he is and what we're doing. I find he's way more active in the mornings, so we have our play times then and in the afternoon when he's more sleepy we read and cuddle and I seem to end up just staring at him!!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Spencer is normally up anywhere between 45mins to 2 hours. Usually has his longest awake time first thing in the morning. At night he is only fed and then put straight back to bed so is usually only about 20mins (plus 5 mins of grunting and cooing as he settles himself back to sleep) unless he has had a poo then its a bit longer as a nappy change always wakes him right up -------------

Kryssi is generally up for 2 hours at a time but longer in the afternoon. When she wakes at night (and this has pretty much been for ever for her) I rarely change her, just feed her, give her a quick cuddle, and back to bed she goes. 5mins at the least, 30 mins at the most. Generally 5-10 ever since the beginning. -------------  |

Sam is usually up for about 2 hours between sleeps during the day, he is quite chirper in the mornings but gets pretty tired in the afternoons. After his afternoon sleep he is full of beans again and will be up for 3 hours + before bed time. I stretch his bedtime routine out quite long, like bottle, play for half an hour, eat solids, play for half an hour, have a bath, play for 10 minutes or so, then we go into his bedroom with the light off but the door ajar so some light comes in and he has his last bottle, a cuddle and a bit of a chat with me then he 'usually' will nod off to sleep straight away, although sometimes it will get to 11pm and he is still staring wide-eyed at me and laughing..
