My 1st paranoid new Mommy sleeping question!!!

Logan is 9 days old now. Since yesterday he can't seem to keep his eyes open. The 1st few days we were home, he had random spurts of staying awake for anywhere from 1/2 an hour to 1 1/2 hours.

The last 2 days, he literally wakes to nurse one side, have his diaper changed & nurse on the other side (if I nurse both sides consecutively he is asleep before he can start the other side) and he is fast asleep.

Even yesterday & today, we moved him from his bouncy seat to the car seat to take him for a walk & he slept through it NEVER even batting an eye!!!

Is this normal? I am guessing yes, but of course I am paranoid!!!

FYI.....he even slept for 2 four hour stretches last night........he is just zonked out completely day & night!!

Re: My 1st paranoid new Mommy sleeping question!!!

Yes, this sounds like pretty normal 9 day old baby behavior! They sleep more than they are awake at that age, and I remember going out with DS and having him sleep a couple hours in the stroller or car seat, easily.

Soon enough DC will be up a lot, and you'll wish he would nap just a little more. But don't worry now, this sounds very normal.

Congratulations on your new baby!

Thanks!!! I just LOVE him!!

I guess I am going to miss this stage where I actually sleep between at night AND get lots done during the day !!
