Hi,

it can be common for babies to be fairly placid for a couple of weeks after birth. It could be getting over the birth, it could be sleeping off some drugs mum had in labour, it could be getting over the jaundice. Or just the adjustment to life. At about 1wk and 5 days parents are almost ready to open their mouths and claim that in fact, they have a "good sleeper" Then, around 2 weeks it all changes - and babies get into a more normal pattern. For a baby, going 4 hours between feeds is really unusal, except for possibly those first 2 weeks. Usually they are looking to be fed 8-12 times in 24 hours. It's a funny thing in our society, but everyone asks "are they a good baby" and you can just about feel the pat on the back when you can say they are - but we seem to completely overlook the fact that babies are biologically desinged to feed frequently and hang out with mum and dad - when they begin to follow this design they are often labelled "little monsters" They are not! Just par for the course. So, yes, don't expect this to last. But, no, she won't turn into a little monster.
