    If he's getting plenty of milk, and happy and alert when awake, then he's probably fine. (and he sounds like he's fine!) I'd make the most of the sleep, personally Some babies really do sleep a LOT (unfortunately some hardly sleep at all)
    Definitely just folow his tired signs, he knows best when he's tired and sounds like he's a very good little sleeper.

    My DS used to do the same weird neck angle thing! Really freaky, but he seemed completely fine. Some day we'd wake up and he'd have managed to squirm across the basinette with his head tilted way back, totally asleep and smiling ocassionally. We'd always put him back straight though, lol.

    As for the sleep schedule, it sounds fine, I find DS is sleepier in the morning than the afternoon, so he gets put back to bed an hour after he's woken up. For a baby that can go 3 1/2 hours before tired signs show up, that's pretty early. I'd love my DS to sleep a bit more!

    Thanks everyone - I feel a bit better. I did call the MCHN nurse as well and she basically said the same - that, he sounds fine (and that I'm lucky - and to enjoy it while it lasts). I do tend to be a worrier!
