sleep

[dawnyliz]

Hi. Can anyone help. My 1 week old has had a couple of bad nights not sleeping much. He's usually awake quite a lot in the afternoon but today he has slept loads he has,fed then gone back to sleep. Is this normal. Is he just catching up on sleep he's missed?

Very normal!

I'd go to sleep in the day when he does hun, it's the only way I coped with the first six weeks!

I don't think a 1 week old has the capacity to catch up missed sleep; they still won't really know what night and day is!
