how much sleep is too much sleep for a newborn

My baby is 19 days old and just wants ti be held constantly when he is not sleeping. I'm happy to cuddle and hold him but i dont want him getting into the habit of constantly being held, and don't want him to be wanting cuddled all the time, how much is too much? can you cuddle a new baby too much?

i know this website has a sleep tracker but idk how to use it. how much sleep is to much. i play on going for a walk later around 3pm (cali time) but i feel like i sleep a lot. any opinions?

You can also ask your doctor for a list of whats safe, and it will usually tell you how much you can take and how often.

As long as you keep a routine, waking up at dawn shouldn't be the cause of your tiredness. Naps are healthy as well, but you generally do not get REM sleep (the deepest levels) during naps, which is an important part of sleeping. This only leaves you with 5 or 6 hours at night to get adequate rest. I know what it is like to get jipped out on your REM and I dealt with that for too long. You feel sluggish, unmotivated, tired and lazy.

I suggest undergoing a formal sleep study which is called a polysomnography. It will tell you a wealth of info. regarding your sleep quality. Your primary care doctor should refer you to a sleep clinic to help diagnose this sleep problem.

Then I went back to sleep at around 8am and woke up at 10am. Though this is only a one day thing, is it unhealthy for me? Or could it have been good for me considering sometimes I don't get enough rest? I'm probably freaking out more than I should but I need help finding answers. Anything helps!

i sleep for very long hours....why is that so???? and when i sleep i am not aware of my enviornment....i sleep like a person who has fainted.......what could be the reason???

whenever she wakes up she will be alert for a few minutes then falls asleep almost immediately. Is this cause for concern or am I just being a worried mama..?

I've been feeling like I'm getting to much sleep too I don't get to sleep 12 hrs bc I have an almost 2 yr old but I feel like i could very easily. This is my fourth baby and I've always felt so tired with each pregnancy but this time is the worst! I have an appt. Tuesday and I'm going to have the doc see if my iron levels are low or what else could be causing my extreme tiredness. I'm tired of being tired lol.

That is a good question. But I think it's just your normal non pregnant amount of sleep. Then when you are in the third trimester you will start getting tired again like the first and you just tend to sleep more because you want to take naps during the day.

Hi! So I'm 7 weeks tomorrow and I feel like I need to sleep all hours through the day. I want to ask if that is normal? Or is it too early? I feel like it's too early for that. And what can help with it I'm taking pre natal vitamins and get 9 hours of sleep and I still feel tired. Please help! I'm still going to school and I don't want to get behind with school work with how much I wish to sleep.

Hi, welcome to the forum, sleep paralysis can be a manifestation of type of sleep disorder like parasomnias. Few of the individuals are known to suffer from parasomnias esp. when they are on non-benzodiazepine sedatives, drug abuse etc. otherwise no definitive cause exists in few individuals apart from stress, positive past history of abuse etc. The associated symptoms with the following disorder are confusional wakefulness, sleep paralysis, nightmares and night terrors.

We will probably get more socks and a few more things for each month. Just make sure you get just a little Newborn stuff, a little more 0-3 months then Newborn, and bit more 3-6 months more then 0-3. Make sure you keep in mind what the weather will be like when he/she is born and then in the months that you buy cloths for.. You don't want it to be hot out and only have long sleeves and pants. Lol.

Not sure about some of the meds but I do know 240 norcos a month is a lot for a doctor to prescribe. My doctor said 180 was the max he was allowed to prescribe. I'm not sure if my doctor was just saying that so I wouldn't ask for more though. Plus fentynal is a strong opiate so I wouldn't think norco would have to be taken along with it. I wouldn't think the norco would even help along with fentynal since it is a weaker med.

I am 38+2 and exhausted 99% of the time. Unfortunately due to pain and being uncomfortable I don't sleep much more than 6 hours at night but do take a nap half way through the day.

is this normal? I know aches and pains come with the territory, but how much is too much? Can my baby feel the pain too? I'm 18+ 3 AND I haven't gained very much weight, about four pounds, so I know it's not from weight gain. Should I go get checked out? I know I can't take much for it, but I really don't know if I'm supposed to feel like this. Thanks in advance for your answers!

We are waiting for 1st trimester to done with also which is why this site helps so much. But i would sleep all day pretty much, after 2 hrs of being awake, i wanted sleep at 6 weeks. Now im 9 weeks, still tired but had a burst of energy and turned my house upside down cleanng it for 4 hours.

Do u feel like shes up more often then she sleeps? Most newborn sleep a lot then start to be more awake. How old is ur little one? Its hard to tell but maybe ur baby doesnt need as much sleep as u thought. Most of the time if u nap while ur baby sleep ull realise they get lots of sleep its just power naps though.
