A member asked:
My baby boy is 7 weeks old and has been sleeping a lot more through the day and eating less. just wanting to know if this is normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Checkup: He is due for his 8wk check up; so as long as he is not obviously dehydrated take him in on an appt for routine followup and get him weighed; be sure to bring your concerns up and make sure all is well. It is normal to sleep alot; but as long as your baby is getting enough food and fluids his weight should be fine and a good indicator of how well he is doing.
