Newborn sleep

Anyone else receive comments about how much their newborn sleeps? My newborn during the day is pretty much feed, nap, feed, nap every 2-3 hours and has her longer awake time at night and then gets a long stretch of sleep. My MIL is constantly commenting that my newborn sleeps a lot and that we need to keep her awake but she’s 15 days old and newborns are supposed to sleep a lot, with the obvious feed and diaper change in between. She constantly makes us feel like we’re doing something wrong and even asked us if we interact with her, we constantly talk to her when she’s awake. And when she’s not tired enough for a nap we lay her on the tummy time, put her in the bouncer or let her lay on our chest (that’s where she lifts her head the best). I don’t know what else I’m supposed to do here??? My baby sleeps, I let her sleep, does that really make me a bad mom?
