Dd was like that for the first 4-6 weeks. Then she would wake up screaming for about 3 hours nightly from reflux

What a blessing, hopefully things won't change ?

My DS started off like that too ? enjoy the sleepy newborn stage ?

@fivelittleangels and @csavvy I think that's amazing then! But the midwife did tell us some drugs such as Pictocin and I think it's spinal if done in late stages can leave you with a sleeping baby you have to wake to feed - as gets into them too for a few weeks. But she also said check for wet nappies and as long as they are feeding.

They shouldn't sleep all the time without waking to eat so that was what I was suggesting she just ensure isn't happening.

I soooo know mine will be a demanding baby ??

My baby is like that too (6wks) only time she cries is when she's hungry or wet she had some gas problems for about a week but they went away ?

Enjoy it! My dd was like that. Around 2-3 weeks there was a period where she screamed bloody murder and everything but it was gas. She's been amazing since and she's almost 3.5.

@jada a newborn is supposed to sleep a lot. It's average for a child under a month to only be awake 15-20 min at a time.

Both of my kids were like that for the first two weeks, then they started waking up more and stuff. For the most part though they've always been pretty good sleepers.

My ds was like that until he turned around 2 weeks old...then he was crying all day everyday for months :( but my mom said my sister was like that. Never cried for all of her infant hood and was an overall very happy/good baby.

My second DD was like that. She slept most of the time. I had to wake her up to feed her for the first couple months.. and then baaaammm... she became a something else lol.

It seemed like my son slept for the first two weeks of his life but then once he hit 2weeks 1 day he was like magically awake all of a sudden and it was much different after that lol

@jada, drugs from an epi aren't going to make a baby all drugged up and sleepy. Newborns sleep a lot, some more than others. My dd had jaundice and she slept all the time, we thought it was attributed to that but she slept like that for the first few weeks. So long as he's having enough wet diapers it's ok. I wish mine still slept like that! But she still sleeps pretty good throughout the night so I can't complain ?

My son did this, he slept all night and was awake and quiet all day. He just sat and chilled. He is still like this, he is 3 and you hardly even know he's around. He is so quiet all the time. It makes me worry that this one will be a wild child from the start. Lol

How are his bilirubin levels? Usually jaundice babies are more sleepy than others.

You didn't have an epidural or spinal or something did you? I've just had an anti natal class and they had a sleepy baby as an example and I was like "I hope mine is like that" and she said it sounds great but check at that age as they may still have drugs in system and affected by them from the ones put in you.... also need to wake them to eat and make sure they are getting enough food so as great as that sounds I would monitor it.

I think most babies as newborns sleep and barely cry well at least all 3 of mine were like that for the first month

Enjoy while you can I guarantee it won't stay that way forever

Lucky u, my son wakes up with that high pitch scream that I jump up of the bed landing on my feet confused as to what is going on lmbo!! He is 5 weeks old and still does it :/ I think I'm traumatized lol

Enjoy the calm before the storm.

Is it something to be concerned with ?

Dd1 was that way and it never changed. Such an easy baby.

Ds1 &ds2 were like that for about 2 weeks. Then did a complete turn around. Ds1 didn't actually sleep through the nights until after his 2nd bday. So I don't think you can tell for sure this early. My 1.5 week old sleeps probably 21 hours out of the day right now but I'm not holding my breath

Uhhh ohh ? ?

Definitely knock on wood ? I said the same thing, yet here I lay with my 5 week old daughter who is wide awake not wanting to sleep and it's 1:15 am here...mind you I got her ready for bed at 8:00 pm...its been a long night ?

Lol better knock on wood!!!

lol I feel like I'll be on here in a week or so asking how to get him to sleep now that I posted this ?

My daughter was like that. So calm. Slept through the night. It didn't change, she is a pretty chill kid.

My son kinda started like that but then it changed. ?

Just wait ?

ETA: although my mom said I was like that
