A member asked:
Should i awake my 19 days old baby boy to breast feed if he overslept 3 hours at day time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Allowing naps lasting over 2.5 hours during the day leads baby to flip the day night pattern.This results in shallow night sleep & frequent wakings. It is much better to limit day naps to about 2 hours and let sleep for longer periods at night.
