STM so I know newborns sleep a LOT but damn my son is like a kitten, he's barely opened his eyes in his entire life. I feel like my daughter was more alert and awake by this age.

He started out pretty badly jaundiced. We were almost readmitted for light therapy but instead were allowed to treat at home and have DAILY doctor visits for 10 days, even had to go to the pediatric unit at the hospital on the weekends when the labs and doctor offices were closed. We finally got the all clear after he surpassed his birth weight by 2 weeks old and his bilirubin dropped from 18 to 13 in just 4 days. His color is sooo much better now and he nurses well and poops enough during the day (3-4 small and one BIG one)

But this is the most awake he gets and it only lasts less than 5 minutes before he shuts his eyes right up tight again.

I guess I'm just anxious to actually meet and interact with my sweet boy 😏
