Ok, so I'm having a real "mummy sucks, has no idea what she's doing, is ruining you for life" day today. Savannah is approaching the 4 week mark this Sunday and I really feel I am not doing enough for her / with her.

The past two days, now that the crying is finally starting to settle, I feel like all I am doing is feeding, changing and settling - I'm wondering if I am causing this poor child to just sleep all day. How long do babies at 4 weeks generally stay awake? I've still been working off the 2 hour thing I read in the first week...

I do try to chat to her when she's awake, but I'm (and this may shock some of you) a fairly quiet person at home during the day. Especially in the mornings when I am more happy for a cuddle than a big long chat. And I don't really sing as I've never been a singing person unless I have my MP3's going, and I wasn't sure if that sort of music is good for bubs so young.

Savannah's still not really interested in "things" - more content to stare at the wall or curtains. I did read a book to her this morning, very short but with simple pictures. We managed about 5 minutes before she started turning her head away.

I feel like Savannah is getting the most boring start to her life... what is/was other babies doing at 4 weeks? How long were they awake? Do they still mostly just sleep all the time?
