Irregular sleep pattern
My daughter is 7 weeks old. This week it has happened twice that she has slept only 4-5 hours in the last 15 hours. In the meanwhile she is demanding feed the entire time. Sometimes becomes restless while feeding. 3 days back she behaved the same way then the following two days she slept for almost 18-19 hours in the day taking very light feeds. Is this a normal behaviour or does she needs to be checked? TIA
