Hi,
I have a two week old baby who is breastfed. He was born two weeks after expected due date (if that’s relevant).
He was 4.08kg at birth, lost 80g in first week then put on 250g in second week. He has no signs of jaundice, plenty of dirty and wet nappies and has times where he is awake, content and alert.
The night before he slept for 10 hours straight. He then had some little sleeps during the day, but not much, then feel asleep at 5.17pm and woke at 3.30am, fed for an hour on both sides, had a wet nappy then went back down for another four hours. That is 10 hours of sleep straight, plus another four hours.
Is this ‘normal’? Is this too long? From what I’ve read if they’re gaining wait then you shouldn’t wake them for anything, they will wake themselves for changing, feeding etc.
