hi, im new to this but wanted to see what other peoples experiences are. my 7 week old daughter is gorgeous but seems to sleep a lot. day and night. When she is awake she is great and seems to be developing as expected-smiling, cooing, feeding well (breastfeeding), putting on weight well. Some days are better than others, but frequently, like today, she is only awake for half an hour at a time then cries until I rock her to comfort her and she falls asleep. I check that there is no other reason for her crying first. She really is just tired! Today I would say she has been awake for 2-3 hours at the most in short bursts. As I say, some days she is awake for much longer periods. I will ask health visitor tomorrow when I get her weighed but wondered if any one had similar sleepy babies. THe only reason I wonder if this is ok is from speaking to the other mums at our baby groups- my daughter is getting a reputation for sleeping through all the groups and songs. I laugh it off but it has got me wondering if it is ok for her to sleep so much?
