Question for moms with 5-6 week olds!

jessicaoustrich · January 2014

Is it normal for baby to still be very sleepy during the day? I'm trying to make sure LO doesn't get her days and nights mixed up (she's done well so far) but I feel like I spend a lot of time trying to wake her up and keep her awake. Trying to follow the wake, eat, play, sleep routine but can't get her to stay awake for much more than an hour at a time, including feeding. Is this still normal at this stage? Or should she be able to stay awake for longer periods of time?

My baby is six weeks and he sleeps the majority of the time. He will have one or two hours of awake. Them back to sleep.

My baby will be 6 weeks on Monday and still sleeps a lot. He has a long stretch of awake time from 8 til 10:30 am, then another 2 hour stretch in the pm. Other than that, it's sleeping.

I've been reading what to expect and it says that their brain is developing while they are sleeping. So i would let them sleep .

Thanks guys! I hate worrying about everything! Guess I should take advantage now while she's still sleeping well during the day!!
