Newborn sleeping
Hi my baby is 7 days old. He is sleeping almost all day. Today i feed him 2 times in morning, since then he is sleeping. Tried to wake him but no use. He is active in night from 10.30 pm to 4 am. Is it normal? What about his weight gain. He is not crying for milk also.

Delay in feeding more than 3 hrs is not good. But forceful feeding is not recommended.
