How much does your newborn sleep?

Mine sleeps for honestly almost 18 hours a day.  Sometimes I worry that this is too much, but I figure if she wants to sleep she must need to sleep.  She's 1 week today, is this too much for her??

    Not at all. Newborns will sleep the vast majority of the day. At 1 week, they are awake for diaper changes, to eat, and maybe a little interaction with mommy & daddy.

    In the next couple weeks, you'll notice a lot more wakeful time!

    Sounds fine. The first week or so, DS slept all.the.time. As LO gets older, you'll notice that she's awake & alert more and more.

    DD did this too, and then Week Three hit and she's decided she doesn't need naps anymore. Enjoy the break, the chance to nap yourself, etc!

    Most newborns sleep this much the first few weeks. God planned it that way- the newborn sleeps while you recover from labor. By the time you recover, all hell breaks loose and there's no sleep to be had.  :)

    I have no idea how much my LO sleeps, but it is most the day.  He's awake only a short period of each day and most of that is during diaper changes and feedings. I'm not worried.
