How long does your LO stay awake?

My 4 week old seems to sleep alot and I'm aware that's what they'll be doing mostly at this age.  He does stay awake sometimes in small increments that usually totals about 2 hours/day.  He's mostly awake in the mornings/afternoon after he wakes up from his nap/feeding.  I'm just curious what other babies are doing.  If your baby stays awake, how long do they stay awake and around what time period?

We try to follow the "routine" of wake up, eat, then be awake for a while before going down for a nap. Then repeat. Longer awake times during the day and I put him right back down after his night feedings. I've noticed this week, he's been staying up a bit more after feeding. He'll be awake for 30-45 minutes for feeding, and up to an hour or an hour and a half if he gets a bath or tummy time. He's going 3-3.5 hours from feeding to feeding right now.

My DD stays awake far too much during the day, she's so overtired that it's hard to get her to sleep. We're really trying to get her back to sleeping 16-18 hours a day like she should be.

I haven't started on EASY yet, although he kind of implements it naturally half the time... It's more like EAESY though. Anyway, his awake time ranges from 30 minutes to an hour typically, but sometimes longer or shorter. During the day he eats pretty much every hour on the hour, unless he's napping, and I'd say after every other feeding he falls asleep.

ETA: he is most awake mid morning, and in the evening. Lately he's been sleeping the afternoons away.

That is normal for a 4w old.

DS is 10w.  He's awake the longest in the morning after he wakes up; usually 2-3 hours max. During the day we follow loosely the EASY routine, and he is awake for an hour at most before he's tired again.  In the evening, he stays awake for 2 hrs before bedtime.
