Baby only sleeps 9-10h?

Question

My 2 week old baby refuses to sleep more than 9-10hours per 24h. I am worried because I feel like this might impact her development and I'm getting so tired, she will sleep around 5h at night (waking up every 1.5h to feed) and roughly 4 hours throughout the day naps but even then she will nap for 10-15min and then be back up again. Is this normal or should I see a doctor? Otherwise she's healthy, just seems very fussy. Any advice?

Answer

Try baby wearing/using a sling in the day. It can help them to feel secure and warm again and skin to skin is good too. Could also try baby swaddling for naps of you need to put baby down coz your tired yourself or need a break. Also if your breast feeding get the latch checked by a breastfeeding consultant x

Has LO been checked for a tongue tie. Similar thing happened to my first born and I didn’t realize until he was a month old that he had a tongue tie. I caught it myself

Answer

Does your little one feed well? My little one at two weeks old had colic like symptoms  and it would hurt when she would latch on. On top of being fussy a lot, she either wouldn’t want to eat or would want to cluster feed and sleeping was all over the place. I was extremely exhausted. When I talked to my lactation consultant here they checked her and she noticed my little one was restricted. I made an appointment with a local pediatrician dentist and sure enough my little one had a tongue and lip tie therefore affecting her eating and mood. Including sleeping pattern. I was unsure of what this even was but once she got the procedure done she’s been doing a lot better. It’s worth mentioning to your pediatrician to just check.
