Why is she sleeping so much?

DD is 4 weeks old today and she was really cranky on Friday and Saturday.  She would be totally fine one minute and then start screaming crying the next, which she never did in the past.  The only way to calm her down was to put her in the car.  I think I must have driven around for 4 hours on those 2 days.  Anyway, yesterday and today she seems fine.  No screaming crying, but she is sleeping almost all day and night.  She'll wake up for her bottle, eat it and then I can't get her to stay awake.  I try to get her to play a little before she eats, but when she's hungry it's hard to do that.  She doesn't seem cranky or anything when she is up so I don't think she is sick or anything.  Any ideas???  Maybe this happens around 4 weeks because she just finished a growth spurt?

    Sounds like a growth spurt to me.  DD always slept more than normal at the end of a growth spurt and would only wake up to eat.

    I agree, I think it is probably the end of her 3-wk growth spurt.  DS slept A.LOT. during/after growth spurts and seemed to only wake up to eat.  Not sure about the crying for no reason the other day, though - could have just been tummy pains/growing pains?
