Think little man is having a growth spurt do they sleep more?

7 Replies

I'm used to him having a bit of awake time but even when I've put him in his bouncer he has fallen asleep in it and when he is awake all he wants to do is feed

Sounds like a growth spurt to me!! How old is he? X

19 days, just can't believe how much he is sleepin... he has been asleep all today apart from when I bathed him but as soon as he had some milk he was fast asleep again. .. wakes up for some milk then he is sparko again! I'd say he is sleeping 23 hours out of 24!

Oh bless him! yeah it's pretty normal at a few weeks old!! Will be tough on you if you are bf but after a day or too he should be back to normal xx

Yes :-). Sammy is going through a growth spurt at the mo - slept for nearly 19h yesterday! Scary as hell!!!

Definitely scary when they're in sleep mode! You'd think us Munmy's would be delighted with the extra sleep but you spend most of the time being worried that they're sleeping too much!!

Try to relax and make the most of it!xx

My Lil one is doing this now so much Ive resulted in "expressing" my Breast milk to give my nipples a rest :)

Ah-well I'd rather this than those last few weeks of pregnancy anyway.

Why does no one tell you this? I keep reading that at 10 weeks, Lottie should be awake more during the day, and some days she is and happily plays on her baby gym or with toys but others all she seems to want to do is eat, sleep and have cuddles.

Not what you're looking for?
