I really don't want to seem smug in any way, but is there such a thing as too much sleep for an 8 week old?
DD is almost 9 weeks, bedtime usually around 9pm after 5 feeds in the day at 3-4 hourly intervals BF. The last 2 feeds a bit closer together 2 1/2 to 3 hours. The thing is she has gone from 6 hours sleep, to 8 then to 10 all in the last 2 weeks it seems!
In one way it's great but she doesn't even wake up for a feed, she goes 10 hours straight through. Now of course i'm worried she is sleeping too much.
Her naps during the day are much shorter now, she likes to be with it and is very alert when she is awake, also gaining weight steadily. Can growth spurts make them tireder, am i lucky and worrying for no reason or could there be something wrong? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
