My 6 week old is a champion sleeper. He's going a 5-6 hour stretch at night (which pediatrician said is fine for his age and weight) and usually sleeps from about 9pm - 7am, only waking to feed. However, I'm getting worried because he sleeps an awful lot during the day, too. He always wakes to eat every 3 hours or so, but I'd be surprised if he's
awake for more than 5 hours in total during the day.
Most of my family tells me to just enjoy the fact that he's sleeping
now, because he won't forever, but it seems like at 6 weeks he should be
more awake than he is. I thought I read the norm was for him to sleep ~16 hours at this age, and there's no way he's awake 8 hours. Anyone else experiencing this?
