Your 5-6 weeker sleeping schedule?

Does your 5-6 weeker still pretty much sleep all day?  My DD was born 4 weeks early and her adjusted age should be 1 1/2 weeks old.  She will be 6 weeks tomorrow and she is still sleepign alot.  Is this normal for a premie?  She gets up around 5pm and will stay awake for a good 3-4 hours.  But during the day, she will wake for feedings and then go back to sleep.  Just thinking she still sleeps alot.

    My daughter was born at 34 weeks and she was/is a huge sleeper too. At 6 weeks she was still sleeping all the time.  Then, gradually she had a small awake time in the morning and a small awake time in the evening. Otherwise, like your DD she slept ALL day.  She didn't even wake up for feedings.  I got her up, but she ate and slept at the same time! :) 

    When she was 3 months, I was so worried because she still seemed to sleep soooo much.  Then, right when she turned 4 months she finally seemed to have more wake up times.

    She wakes up in the morning at about 9:00 and she stays awake for about 1 1/2 hours.  Throughout the day it is pretty much the same pattern--eat, play for about 1 1/2 hours and then she is so ready to go to bed.  I also still have to wake her up to eat throughout the day. 

    So, I don't know if it's normal, but my preemie slept a lot too.
