Our 5 week olds sleeping just weird. When she wakes up in the morning she will be awake for hours (7am-11isham) and then sleep for about 2 hours, feed, then go straight back to sleep for another 2 hours. Then once she’s up early evening, she literally stays awake for hours. As I’m writing this she’s been awake from about 4.15pm and it’s now 9.20pm and is wide awake. Our first slept a lot more than this and had the shorter wake windows you would expect.
Is anyone else experiencing something similar? It’s very strange

My LO is the same! He was doing 3-4 hour stretches between his feeds in the day, and 4hrs overnight (he is also 5 weeks old) but has suddenly started feeding every 2/2.5 hrs. He’s wide awake in the mornings from about 4:30-9, and then sometimes will sleep at 9ish but wake an hour later. I have no idea what it is but hopefully it gives you some comfort that you’re not the only one!!

My second is only 11 days old but every night from around 2am he stays awake until around 5/6am never known anything like it lol, throughout the day tho he pretty much sleeps all day he wakes for bottles every 3 hours! Xx

Both of my babies have been super awake newborns. For my first this translated to a super low sleep needs toddler and for my second it remains to be seen 😅I assume he’ll be the same though!
