Sleep problem
My one month old baby is sleeping only for 7 hours(only during night time). Even if she feels sleepy or I rock and pat her to sleep, she is denying to close her eyes and fall asleep. Sometimes when she sleeps during the day time, she wakes up in maximum of half an hour. She also wakes up when she pees. I am worried this might cause a health problem to her. Is it ok for her to not sleep for so long time. Can someone help pls?
