Hi. Can anyone help. My 1 week old has had a couple of bad nights not sleeping much. He's usually awake quite a lot in the afternoon but today he has slept loads he has,fed then gone back to sleep. Is this normal. Is he just catching up on sleep he's missed?

I think this is normal - it takes babies quite a while to figure out day and night. Keep each day's routines vaguely the same and he will soon get into a rhythm.

I wasn't really a routine-led parent but I found doing the same thing each evening right from the start (bath, feed, book - whatever) was really invaluable.

Congratulations on your lovely baby!
