At two weeks old a baby is entitled to sleep as much as she wants. As long as she has normal diapers and is growing normally. Enjoy your time, and sleep when she sleeps Smile

I would check her temperature. As long as it's not too high or too low, enjoy the rest Smile

Let her be!
Babies face many sleepy days.
And she might be a sleepy nature too.

If you have to wake her for feedings doesn't seem normal, babies even who sleep alot wake up for feedings because they get hungry. Did you take something that makes drowsy like benadryl

I found if I took benadryl baby was more sleepy ( nursing babies) also if they were born before due date they would be more sleepy in beg. Till their due date.

at that age it is still normal. especially if low birth weight or premature. in my experience, my smaller babies were much sleepier and needed to be woken for feedings.

she does eventually get up, more like 4 to 5 hours, and I like to feee every 3 hours during the day especially cuz she was born 3 weeks early with low birth weight. you guys are right.

Tylenol can make sleepy. 3 weeks early makes sense to be more sleepy. Going 4 hrs without food is ok if they dont wake till then.
