sleeps all the time?

[GBLiz]

do all newborns sleep like 20 hours out of 24?!

since my LO's birth at the weekend all she does is sleep, wake up every now and then (sometimes after 6 hours i decide i better wake her myself!) when she wakes she cries for half an hour then feeds, then falls asleep again.

is this normal for the first week or am i lucky to have such a placid baby?

if you have a normal baby then yes... if you havea Serena or a Tia...then no... are you breastfeeding or bottle feeding because bottle fed babies tend to sleep for longer too

Yeh Ellie was like that at first but it didnt last long! I think its the trauma/stress of birth to be honest

Enjoy it while it lasts! It seems that Luke is never asleep anymore. Even the health visitors comment on how alert he is. A fact that doesn't escape us in the early hours of the morning...

Most newborn babies sleep the majority of the time at first, thats when they are learning and growing. Defo enjoy it while it lasts lol cause soon enough you'll have a toddler like mine who only sleeps for maybe 2hrs a day now.
