Is this normal?

Question

I’ve noticed this week my 6 week old is not sleeping as she normally would during the day. She will sleep about 15-20 mins at the most and suddenly wake up and will stay awake for hours but gets sleepy I see she yawns. She fights her sleep when being put to sleep. During the night time she wakes up every 3 hours to feed, seems as if it’s during daytime she’s having a hard time sleeping.

Answer

It happens. As long as she's still pooping, peeing and eating it'll pass.

Answer

This is the opposite way round for me and my 13 day old baby I wish she would sleep in the night but she fights her sleep so much

Answer

At 6 weeks they experience a sleep regression. Mine did the same, wouldn't sleep during the day unless she was held and refusing naps. It only lasted about 3 days though.

Answer

You have to start helping her sleep. When they're newborn they just fall asleep. As they get to 4 weeks or so you need to follow awake times and get bub to sleep however you can or you'll have an overtired baby. At that age they're only awake 45mins to and hour.:

Answer

My son stopped taking naps at about 6 weeks. He’s now 6 months and he VERY RARELY sleeps more than a couple of 20 minute chunks in the day.  A big nap only happens if we go on a walk or longer car ride.  Also, he stopped sleeping through the night at 6 weeks. He sleeps from 7-10 and then wakes up 4-10 more times throughout the night 😩😩😩.  I’ve never met a human who sleeps less. He’s a very happy guy, all healthy and developmentally on track... just has some major FOMO, apparently.  Nothing I’ve tried for naps or night has worked, and trust me, I’ve tried it all.
