1month baby sleeps throughout day
Hi doctor
my 1month old baby boy still sleeps throughout the day and doesn't wake by himself for on demand feeds.
I have to wake him up everytime for feeding.
at late nights till early morning he wakes up every 1-1.5hr for feeding.
why does it happen.. and until when is it expected.. why he doesn't wake up from hunger during the day? should I let him sleep for more than 2hrs if he doesn't wake up during the day.

Baby may continue to do so till 2-3 months. It is quite normal. As the baby grows day time sleeping will decrease. Try to give 8-10 feeds per day. If the baby is passing urine 5-6 times and sleeping comfortably after feeding that means feeding is adequate.
Next Steps
Be watchful for danger signs like poor feeding, lethargy, fever etc. consult pediatrician immediately.
