Am I doomed??

DS (4 weeks old) has literally been sleeping ALL day. I was shopping with a friend so he was in the car (asleep), in the stroller (asleep) back in the car (asleep again), and then when we got home he took a looooong nap on my chest, ate, and fell asleep again!  Usually I can hardly get him to sleep for more than 30 minutes!  Does this mean he will be up all night tonight??  He slept for 7 hours last night, maybe I will be making up for the sleep I got last night... could it just be a growth spurt?

Depends on your LO.  My DS actually sleeps better at night when he's slept well during the day, maybe because he doesn't have a reason to be fussing when I'm trying to get him to sleep.  Maybe your LO will be the same way.  If not, hopefully you can reset his sleep schedule in a day or two.

I could have written this. I'm hoping that we both have LOs going through growth spurts!

i was afraid that our baby wouldn't sleep at night ont he days when he sleeps a LOT during the day... but i found that just because he sleeps most of the day away doesn't necessarily mean he'll be awake at night~  so i would just wait and see how your baby does~  whenever he was sleeping during the day, i woudl dread the night, but that anxiety is (almost) gone now!
