    Worried

    My 2 week old slept for 7 hours last night, just woke for a 10 minute feed and is sleeping again. She didn't have a huge amount of sleep yesterday like usual but is this normal for newborns to do this?

    I'm worried!!

    Its so hard not to worry hey ...but sounds like she needed a big sleep. She would have had enough food in the 10 mins...if she was hungry she would have been awake more.......does she have a temp? I am sure she is fine! Hopefully she will continue to sleep long strecthes for you xxx

    She is probably getting ready for a big growth spurt. It's hard not to stress though. I remember checking on dd when she had her first big sleeps to see if she was still breathing

    Thanks guys, I just wasn't expecting this so soon!
    She woke 2 hours ago and just had an hour on the boobie - guzzling like there was no tomorrow so maybe she just needed the sleep more than the food last night hey?

    Goodness, there is so much to worry about! I need to give myself a break!

    Thanks
