Okay, this might be long and sound strange, but…………….
My little guy was the worst sleeper and screamed hysterically all day and night long until… I figured out that it’s best if he sleeps all of the time. ALL of the time. When he wakes up, I usually change him and give him a bottle. Then, if I immediately put him in the swing or rock him until he gets drowsy and put him down, he sleeps for hours and doesn’t scream. He is 9 weeks old. This is my 2nd, but my dd was the easiest baby. I had to check that she was breathing all of the time, even when she was awake because she was so quiet.
Is it normal for a baby to sleep this much (about 18-20 hours a day)???? He’s not lethargic when he’s awake and doesn’t have a fever or anything. I’m not complaining at all, but I feel like something might be wrong with him. When he is awake and not crying, he has a really confused look on his face and seems dazed, like he’s high on drugs. He has strange limb movements too. He will hit himself in the face over and over again with his fist and is constantly bicycling his own legs. He also usually has one hand up in the air likes he’s raising his hand at school or something. It’s just hard to tell if this is abnormal or just baby stuff. My ds takes Prevacid solutabs and Reglan daily.
