Sleep?

[Loula]

DS has been asleep for most of the day, he has only woken to feed then straight back to sleep again. he hasnt feed as well as he usually does, no temp

Is this 'normal' for 7 weeks?

Yep. they will do it a few times in the coming months, could be a growth spurt...could just be having one of those days lol.
Every time Charlotte did this though it was always the precursor to a few days of grizzling, fussiness and general unsettled-ness, followed closely by either a milestone of some sort or a growth in length.

The only time DS ever did this was after his 2-month vaccs.
If he's still feeding then he's probably fine.

Loula, this can happen at times and is probably fine - except it might mean some extra feeds in the night! Babies at that age generally need 8 or more feeds in 24 hours, so it would be a good idea to keep an eye on his nappies and make sure he is still having plenty of wet and dirty nappies. If the nappies slow down then you might need to wake him every 2 - 3 hours for a feed. Most of the time the adage "don't wake a sleeping baby" is a good one, but there are times when you need to.

Oh we still get poos! Lol he has had less today

He is awake now and just had great tummy time. The strongest I've seen so far.

With regards to his feeds he had been taking one bb per feed rather than both. He usually only does this on the night feed

Looks like he might have mixed up day and night! Wish me luck for tonight. Lol

I think there IS no normal for babies!!!!
DD will have days where she sleeps 40 minutes in 12 hrs, and other days will sleep for 2 hours in the morning AND afternoon!

Yep sounds normal to me.

Miss K has days where she will sleep all day and only wake for feeds and other days (like today) where she sleeps for 15 mins at a time and be so awake and alert. Then there are days where sleep just doesnt happen at all but thats if shes been over stimulated by her cousins.
