Baby staying up a lot
My baby is going to complete one month. Since last week whenever he wakes up he stays awake for 3-4 hours and only wants to be held or suck my breast. If we lay him down on the bed he begins to cry. Is this normal?

Newborn babies are asleep for 15-18 hours. Of your baby is awake a lot, there could be many reasons. You also need to look at her growth, so of the weight gain is normal say 30 gm/day, no need to worry. Otherwise it's possible that she is not getting enough milk or has gassy abdomen or colic. Take a proper consultant to rule out causes.
