Sleepy 8 Week Old
Hi there
I have a feeling I am going to come across as a paranoid mother but thought I would just check anyway!!
I have an 8 week old who in the last day or so has seemed to be really sleepy throughout the day, she wakes up to be fed and is then asleep again within an hour or so which is very different to how she was before, she would usually be awake for a couple of hours (not including feeding) in the morning and afternoon.
She has started to sleep longer at night but this has been happening for a week or so which means it doesn't seem to coincide with the day sleepyness. She is feeding fine.
Has anyone had a similar experience, any advice?
Many thanks ladies
Liz

I know what you mean about being paranoid, everyone kept telling me to enjoy the peace and chance to get on with stuff but I couldn't stop worrying.
So long as LO wakes for feeds, is gaining weight and is alert and aware when awake then they should be fine. HVs told me that everytime they saw me and I'm only just starting to agree!
It is nice when they're awake more and you get more interaction, so just look forward to that and enjoy your rest for now.
