How much sleep for a 5 week old during the day?
Morning Ladies,
I'm a bit confused as to how much my 5 week old baby should be sleeping during the day, as he really struggles to settle himself in the evening after his 6pm feed and bedtime routine.
He doesn't sleep an awful lot during the day, probably for no more than 1 hour at a time and maybe only a couple of those in total. Is this enough? He's a very alert baby, so doesn't seem to want or need any more sleep. However, this morning he has yawned a few times and each time I took it as a cue for sleep, so laid him down for what I thought was going to be a nap ... he didn't nap, just cried and wrestled around like he was bored.
Sometimes he is wide awake after his 2am feed, and I did read somewhere about not napping enough during the day will make them wake more at night. Not sure I understand that though!
Just very tired today and trying to filter through the mass of information about sleep, so any advice would be much appreciated :)
TIA
