I'm concerned my daughter sleeps too much. She's normally up between 6:30-7:30 and is up mostly all morning she does occasionally nap (car ride, stroller ride) but never more than an hour. Every afternoon she sleeps for about 3 hours then I wake her up at 5 to be up for the evening and to interact with Dad. During the night she sleeps 3-4 hour stretches. Is this normal?
@dropdeadmeg, whenever she's awake I talk, sing, and ply with her. I explain ever were doing like feeding, changing diapers, bathing, etc. she's not in to toys yet either so I just try and play with her. Hope that helps
I feel dumb asking this, but how do you interact with your baby? I try talking to my boy but I never know what to say or do. I bring out a baby toy but he doesn't seem interested at barely 2 1/2 weeks old. just trying to figure out how to entertain him more.
Thank you @myliltadpole1116 @maggie1129 I'm happy to know its normal 😊 and yes in a few weeks I will be begging for my sleepy baby 😂
@nadiahuynh, very normal all newborns sleep a lot!! Once they get a little older u will be begging for them to sleep like right now my daughter won't sleep that much I have to sleep with her
On average babies sleep 16 hrs a day and if your interacting a lot, that means she learning a lot and that tires them out easily. As long as they gain weight your doing just fine:)
no problem! I remember being soooo bored when she slept, but now nap time is very few and far in between. 😩😂😂😂
@their.bomb.ass.mom, thank you so much!! Ok I'm relieved she eats and is gaining weight. I do interact with her as much as possible while she is awake but before I know it nap time starts.
All babies are different my daughter wakes up once a night but she is awake more during the day for long stretches of time but she might be going through a grow spurt they usually sleep more when it happens
@nadiahuynh, thank you! :)
