Is this normal ?

Question

My baby is 8 weeks old and the last couple of days she has been sleeping a lot more . I know in the beginning she was sleeping alot but then she was starting to stay awake for couple of
Hours during the day . Now she is back to sleeping alot again. Is this normal? I was expecting her to sleep less and less during the day as she gets older. Also, do I wake her up every 2-3 hours during the day to feed?

Answer

There is a leap or mental/developmental growth spurt around 8 weeks and the extra sleep is likely related to that and will last a few days to a week or so. But if you are concerned or baby is too sleepy to eat then call the pediatrician.

Answer

If she is suddenly sleeping much more, I would ask your pediatrician for advice. You know your baby best and if she seems off to you, it never hurts to check in.

Answer

it’s fine! you don’t have to wake her at night if she’s past her birth weight but i usually still do during the day
