How much time ...

Hi Ladies

Just after some advice please...

How much time do you spend on naps, play and tummy time a day?

LO seems to love her sleep and am just worried that I'm not stimulating her enough. She a smiley baby so guess that means she's happy!!!!

For the last week she has been sleeping through from 9pm to 7am and is currently on 4 feeds a day (her choice to cut 2 feeds!) She has 3 x 7oz and 1 x 8oz just before bed all 4 hours apart so know she's getting enough.

Any advice gratefully received.

  • For me the days vary depending on what I'm doing really - as she'll quite often nap when she's in the pushchair/car seat for longer than she would if we are at home during the day. Generally she has a half hour nap in the morning around half 9, a big sleep midday for 1-2 hours and then another nap (sometimes) later in the day around 4/5ish (she's dozing off now on the play mat).

    She loves her play mat so spends quite a bit of time on there as she hates being fussed with too much - but does quite like sitting on my knee looking round the room as I jabber on to her lol.

    Am rubbish at tummy time (oops bad mummy alert) but I am going to start doing this more often to encourage her to build strength in her arms and legs as she pushes upwards - at the moment she's none to impressed by it though so haven't pushed it every day!

    I may do the same as you ref feeds and up her amount a little, I give her 6oz bottles and total quantity wise she probably has about the same as your lo over the day - although one of those will be in the night between 3-5am.
