Is my baby sleeping too much?

kellialayne · March 2010

I have a 5 day old and it seems like all she does is sleep - for like 4 hours at a time sometimes. We feed her 1-2 oz of formula, change her diaper, then put her down and she is out. Is it normal for them to sleep this much at this young of an age?

I hope so, mine can sleep 4-6 hours at a time. Never when we'd like him to though, of course :-)

Yes they sleep a ton when they are that little. My 2 week old still sleeps that much. I have to wake her up to feed and change her most of the time.

Totally normal. But I woke mine every 3 hours to eat.

Yes, normal. Enjoy it cuz now sometimes I'm wishing my LO would sleep!

Our little guy has to be woken up at the 4 hr time span all the time. He drinks 3 1/2 oz though every 4 hrs.

Everything I have read and been told by our pedi says that is totally normal. My 5 week old even has days here and there where he is extra sleepy and I just let him sleep. He's a baby-that's what they do!
