Greetings
It is very common for a 13-day-old preterm baby weighing 2 kg to sleep up to 20 hours a day, as they need significant rest for growth and development. Frequent bowel movements after every feeding are also typically normal for breastfed infants. However, because preterm babies have smaller energy reserves, it is critical to ensure he wakes enough to feed 8 to 12 times in 24 hours. If he is too drowsy to latch properly, has fewer than 6 wet diapers daily, or seems unusually lethargic, you should contact his pediatrician immediately. Monitor his weight gain closely with a doctor to ensure he is thriving.
