newborn sleeping all day, more than usual....

DD is 3 weeks old, and she has been sleeping more than she usually does today. I can't keep her awake!
She just fell asleep after eating only 1 oz. She never does that! I guess I will be up all night.
Should I be concerned? She doesn't have a temp, and she isn't unusually fussy.

my DD did the same thing around 3 weeks old. Sometimes a growth spurt will make them sleep more. They usually go through one around 3 weeks.

I wouldn't worry - - we had the same problem. DD is now almost 10 pounds and is much more active during the day Chat Icon

DS used to literally sleep 20 out of 24 hours. I wouldn't worry. Chat Icon

Now DS is awake all day long. I'm constantly trying to find new ways to entertain him.

...and to get the laundry done, if you're anything like me. Chat Icon

I love how DD is so much more alert now, but sometimes I long for those newborn days. When she'd fall asleep, I knew I had at LEAST 3 hours to get all my stuff done!

To the OP, I wouldn't be concerned at all, especially since it's right around the time the first growth spurt typically comes. Your DC probably just needs more sleep right now Chat Icon
