I’m concerned about my 9 week old’s sleep routine and would like some advice. He is mixed breast and bottle fed (2 bottles a day, one around midday and one late at night with breastfeeding in between). He mostly only sleeps very small amounts during the day - on average he has 2x 30 minute naps between 7/8am and 7/8pm with periods of up to 5 hours of awake time in one go, often crying for extended periods of time with no apparent reason (I’m sure there is a reason, but I have no idea what it is!). He used to always have a 3 hour sleep usually between 7pm ish and 10pm ish, but that has become more fragmented now with him waking up every 30 minutes to 1 hour and needing to be settled back down. After that, he is awake roughly every 40 minutes to 1 hour all night. In the night he usually falls back asleep quickly after a feed and a nappy change, but he never manages to connect sleep cycles and always needs to be soothed in between.
is this normal? I can’t help thinking there is something wrong and my baby is unhappy or in pain or something. Everywhere online says that babies of his age should only be awake 2 hours at a time and should sleep around 14 hours a day which is definitely not the case with my son, which makes me worry for his health and development. I would appreciate any advice, thank you.
