My 3 1/2 month old sleeps alot

My 3 month old baby sleeps 19-21 hours a day this past few days. I am very concerned. I'm going to take her to the doctor tomorrow. Anyone else in the same situation?

URM, I would be taking her straight to A&E tbh.

Is she responsive etc?

Feeding ok?

I agree. That's pretty extreme. At least I'd be ringing her ped.

tortoise - UK mothers don't have paediatricians to ring.

Natheen - your baby needs to see a doctor urgently and probably A&E, not the GP.

TikTok, OP is in Canada.

Oh right....she still needs to see a doc urgently, IMO.

OP - I hope all is well.

My daughter woke up from her sleep and was wide awake for 6 hours during the night. That's a good sign. She still has a doctor's appointment today in the evening.

Hope it's all okay, Natheen.

Tiktok, we don't have them in Australia, either, much, but I hang out on an American parenting website (with a lot of Canadians) and they all seem to ring their peds (see, I even have the American spelling down) pretty much constantly. I mean by that that it seems like a fairly standard part of the service to expect late night phone calls from worried parents!

How did her appt go Natheen?

The doctor checked her weight, she gained one pound in two weeks. She is now 13 llbs and 10 oz, he is very happy with her weight. I am still concerned about her breathing and her refusal to the bottle, I don't want to always force feed as that's creating a bad environment for her.
