6 weeks and sleeps all the time
I am a ftm and my baby sleeps all the time. I don't trust Google.
Is it normal? Can we help keep them up more during the day? It seems like he is up maybe 4 hours a day and 2 during the night but sleeps the rest.

Babies are supposed to sleep like puppies, and eat the rest. As long as your baby is gaining weight and growing they should be fine. Make sure to be open with your doctor and ask a lot of questions.

@yaysteph2023 we are hosting an AMA with Dr. Playforth a pediatrician - this would be a fantastic question to ask her, too! You can post here: https://community.nanit.com/discussion/501/ask-me-anything-with-dr-playforth-md-faap#latest
