baby sleeping too much? Is it possible? My 9 week old sleeps allll day and allll night.... She's awake about 4 hours a…

My son was sleeping the same but he started at 6 weeks. His pedi said some babies are different than others..Now he is 2 years old and is very health.

Plenty of wet diapers. At least three major dirty diapers a day. She poops a lot. She went from being very active to sleeping so much. That's the only reason I'm concerned. And her pedi said her weight was average and looked good. She wasn't concerned about the little amount of weight gain in the past month.

Is she having plenty of wet diapers? It really sounds pretty normal to me. I'd mention it to your pedi just for peace of mind, maybe through a phone call though so you guys don't have to be around any unnecessary germs.

At 9 weeks she should be waking up enough to eat, and should be gaining more weight. Sleeping all day isn't a problem as long as they're gaining enough but it doesn't sound like she is. I'd talk to her doctor

Sounds normal to me, but ask your doctor to be safe and for peace of mind. I'm a little jealous to be honest!!! I could use some time to catch up on sleep. ?

My LO only ate about 5-7 minutes, every 2-4 hours. I have a quick let down. She gained weight perfectly.

The longest she has ever eaten is maybe 15 minutes and that is with 2-3 of comfort sucking.

My ped told me to switch breast 5-10 per breast, but she got full of one so..

Different strokes for different folks.

For the first 3-4 months my LO slept and ate. She was up 30-45 minutes every 3-4 hours.

My son slept so much for the first four months. I have a quick let down, so my guy wouldn't nurse for long before getting full. May be the same with you?

Can we switch?! I have a day sleeper and she doesn't sleep at all at night. She feeds like a champ though. ?

OK then I will download the app for sure and track her religiously until the first week of December and get her an appointment that way I have a good amount of consistent data to show the pedi. Or maybe I'll see a change in her over the next week and a half on the app. Thank you ladies.

DD doesn't sleep all day but she has only ever eaten from one breast for 5 minutes every feed.

I would call your pediatrician and ask but I was told by mine that once birth weight is hit to let them sleep.

I had the problem of trying to wake her and she wouldn't wake up. Asked the pediatrician and she said it was because she wasn't ready to eat and she'd let us know.

If you haven't already download the app feed baby. It tracks everything from feed times, diapers, growth, vaccines, medicine, and sleep. It will give you an accurate time table that you can show your pediatrician.

From 10(her wake up) until about noon she's awake and happy. After that she'll take a nap and then that's all she does all day until around 4pm or so then she's up about an hour then napping until around 8-9pm for an hour then asleep again for the night. With 2-3 nighttime feeds from 1-2am until 10am when she wakes up again.

Is LO like this all day? My baby is super alert and awake in the morning, but come 6 pm, she gets so sleepy and falls asleep during feeds. She's like that until about 5 am, and then she's a happy curious baby who wants to play again.

Shots can make baby sleepy but it usually only lasts a day or two. I would talk to your ped about it if it's concerning.

Generally speaking newborns will only be awake about 15-20 minutes at a time. So lots and lots of sleep is normal if lo is still eating well.

The only thing I know is the older the baby gets, the more they can tolerate a higher bilirubin level. ie: at 4 days old levels at 15 could be really high. But at 7 days old baby can tolerate that same level better where it's shown on the chart as low.

You could always call a Children's Hospital near you and ask to speak with the triage nurse. They can usually give you advice, but definitely call and speak with your pedi or a nurse there Monday.. maybe even see if they have an on call staff for the weekend. Childrens hospital is usually really good at giving advice over the phone.. if you call a regular hospital they won't tell you anything except to go to the er.

Also she went from feeding from both breasts to feeding from one.

She was jaundiced when she was born but by her first pedi appointment they said she was fine. When she is awake she is very normal. This excessive sleeping started about a week ago maybe a little more. Can she get jaundice again? I don't know much about jaundice. And I do have a very strong let down. Sprays like crazy if she unlatches. It's as if she's not even awake during feeding.

And I didn't even think to mention the excessive sleeping at her apt. I think I'll bee making another appointment. She got 4 vaccines yesterday, maybe that's adding to the sleepiness and making it more apparent.

Dd2 feeds about 15 min every 3 hours and i know she eats enough because my let down is very strong. So depending on your supply, 15 min may be all your lo needs to be full. At 9 weeks I wouldn't think this would be a problem. But if lo has jaundice that makes them very tired and so not eating enough.. dd2 was jaundice and lost 8% of her birth weight with a bilirubin level of 23 (25 starts causing damage like hearing loss and other things). Once we got that under control, she gained almost a whole lb in a week. Not sharing to scare you, but there may be an underlying issue the pedi missed.

Did you mention the excess sleeping at the appt?

Dd2 is almost 4 weeks old and she sleeps alot but she does wake up and look around while being active and alert at least twice a day right now.

No we don't swaddle. I do diaper changes once she falls asleep but it doesn't help she'll only stay awake another 3 minutes or so. I do activities with her during the day buy she gets cranky after an hour or so and isn't happy until I get her ready for a nap.

I have no idea why your pedi said this was normal. If your baby is only feeding for 10-15 min per feeding, you need to wake your lo up. Rubbing or scratching her back will work. Also wake up to eat. Dont let her sleep more then 3 hours between feedings. Are you swaddling? Swaddling causes babies to feel so comfy, they will skip feedings and will cause her to loose weight.
