Newborn rarely sleeping

Anyone else’s newborn rarely sleeping? My LO, who is nearly 4 weeks, does a handful of 20/30 minute naps recently - maybe one 1+ hour nap during the day. And they do one long 4 hour stretch at night and that’s it!! I thought newborns were supposed to sleep 16+ hours.😩

My newborn is also the same. He really fights sleep. Has 4 hour wake windows regardless of what I do to get him to sleep. Does sleep well at night though. Does 4 hours then feeds and 2 hours. My baby is breastfeed, don’t know if that makes a difference

@Sasha i’m breastfeeding too! I can’t really get anything done during the day because my LO will get fussy and cry so constant boob needed to soothe

My LO is averaging 12-13 hours in a 24 hour period. She generally has one long contact nap on me mid morning (2-3 hours) and then her wake windows are really long with naps that are like 15-30 mins long until it around 8/9/10 (dependent on if we’ve managed a good nap in the afternoon) where she will sleep 2-4 hour stretches overnight with one or two feeds (formula fed) in between. She’s so hard to settle during the day but thankfully is quite good overnight

Totally jinxed it with my reply, she’s decided to wake up every 50 minutes since her bottle at 11pm 😭

Me too! He's a very alert baby and just like looking around everywhere in the day

@Callie oh noo!😂
