Sleepy baby @ 8 weeks

3 Replies

Hello ladies!I am a first time mama to an IVF baby who is now 8.5 weeks old. He was 3 weeks early and with a low birth weight.

My question is regarding baby sleep at 8 weeks. My baby is sleeping upto 20 hrs. Some times I have to wake him up for feeds. He has started sleeping more and in longer stretches.

Has anyone experienced a sleepy baby to tell me if this is normal? Please help!
