Sleeping

Since my daughter was born I’ve noticed she sleeps a lot and I don’t know if it’s normal or not? She has 2 naps a day and they can be up to 2/ 3 but on the nighttime it’s a different story. I’ll get her settled and ready for bed time and just like that she’s sound asleep but she sleep for like 11/ 13 hours straight....

I know it might be a silly thing but it's playing on my mind my baby was born with a preauricular skin tag so a skin tag next to his ear it isn't fleshy so can't be burnt off / banded so will need to be removed surgically when he is around 1 I know that's a while off but I'm debating is it really worth to put baby t...
