At this age many babies sleep for long hours, especially after feeding, and some babies naturally have fewer wake windows during certain growth phases. If she is feeding adequately, passing urine normally, gaining weight, crying normally when hungry, and waking for feeds, it is usually reassuring.
Next Steps
Try to observe:
• whether she can be aroused for feeds
• active movements when awake
• normal urine output (6+ wet diapers/day)
• no fever, breathing difficulty, bluish discoloration, vomiting, poor suck, or excessive limpness
Health Tips
However, if she becomes difficult to wake, feeds poorly, has reduced urine output, weak cry, fever, breathing issues, persistent lethargy, or you feel she is ‘not acting normal,’ she should be examined by a pediatrician soon.
