 | First of all, don't let her sleep more than 2 hour stretches during the day. She shouldn't even go 4 hours between feedings at this age. Are you breast or bottle feeding? She should eat every 2 1/2 to 3 hours, have a short waketime after eating, then take a nap for 1 to 2 hours. Wake her up during the day to keep her from sleeping too much. Undress her, give her baths, whatever you have to do, just don't let her sleep all day long. After her last feeding at 10 or 11 pm, then let her sleep without waking her unless she goes more than 5 hours. She shouldn't go too long, even at night. When she is 6 weeks or more, you can let her sleep longer at night, but keep her daytime routine the same. You'll eventually see that she will have longer waketimes during the day, just try to keep them after feedings and not visa versa because then she'll become used to being put to sleep by breast or bottle. Let me know if this helps...or if you have any other questions???
