Sorry if this is the wrong place for my question, but here goes.

My week old DS had been good as gold, wasy to get to sleep after feeds etc. All of a sudden yesterday, nothing would work! DP and I went through the list over and over (nappy burp hungry bored etc etc) and still DS was hysterical. I even busted out tge relaxation music CD. no lasting results there.

Is it normal for a newborn to be awake for up to 5 hours freakung out for no apparent reason? Poor DP pulled an all-nighter on his own so I could get some rest. He sat up all night researching this exact question in between re-settling the baby.

TIA
