I'm sure it probably is normal and I'm just being paranoid, but my 13 day old baby boy is asleep constantly.
I'd say for at least 23 out of 24 hours! We wake him for feeds and he's not interested. We strip him, change his nappy, bath him etc. He will very occasionally open his eyes but then he drifts back off again.
He got weighed today and has put on 8oz in a week which is reassuring but I'm just concerned as to why he's sleeping so much?
I have a 2 year old who never slept as a baby unless he was breastfeeding for an hour or so. Then he'd wake the second I put him down.
The sleep my newborn is giving us is greatly received but obviously now I'm stressing that it's not right!
Help please? !
