A member asked:
My baby 1 week old sometimes stays awake more than 4 hours i am worried is it normal for a newborn to stay awake that much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is quite normal: Your baby is transitioning and they have quiet alert periods. Self regulation is easier for the newborn though if the rhythm of the household is regular / predictable. Take care. www.healthtap.com/florence-nnebe
