babies too much sleep
Is my baby sleeping too much during the day?
My baby is 3 1/2 weeks old. He is a pretty good sleeper- sleeping 3-4 hours (sometimes 5) at one time. But, nothing is consistent yet.
During the day he sleeps for several long stretches (4 hours) and is more awake at night. I would like to get him to be more awake during the day, but I am wondering if he is still too young? Should I wake him up and try to keep him awake more?
I worried about the same thing when my daughter was born. At first I thought I should be waking her up to get her used to being up during the day. What I found worked best was creating a routine, babies get used to things fairly quickly. No matter how much my daughter slept during the day, I gave her a bath, fed her, turned out the lights and listened to soft music. Now at almost four months, she has been sleeping pretty well at night for almost 2 months. Best wishes!
