Newborn awake for 3 hrs at a time

Kate

Hi! Just had our firstborn who is 11 days old. In the last 3 days all of a sudden he has been a means a lot longer than in his first week. I’ve tried to feed him, change him, walk around the house with him and nothing which then results in a very over tired baby and gives me no time to nap or pump.... I’m guessing this is normal? He is up twice in the middle of the night which has been great but our daytime routine is all screwed up. Any suggestions on what to do while he’s up? Or how to get him to go back down? I would really appreciate your insight!
