What if my 9 days old lo slept for around 5 hours n not getting up completely for the feed. Every day she gets up every 2 hours but today' she slept by 5 and unable to wake up completely or not taking the feed at all . Todays pee count is 5. She also cried much probably due to stomach issue as it was tight then now her stomach seems light but not getting up
