A. Yes, it is normal for a 1.5-month-old baby to sleep a lot. At this age, babies spend most of their time sleeping as their bodies and brains are growing and developing rapidly. Typical Sleep Patterns for a 1.5-Month-Old: Total Sleep Duration: A baby this age usually sleeps for 14-17 hours a day. Sleep Segments: Sleep is spread out over multiple naps throughout the day and night. They might wake every 2-4 hours for feeding. Feeding and Sleep: It is normal for babies to sleep more after vaccinations or during growth spurts. Make sure your baby is waking up for feeds (every 2-3 hours for breastfeeding or 3-4 hours for formula feeding). When to Be Concerned: If your baby is: Difficult to wake for feeds or isn’t feeding well. Showing poor weight gain. Lethargic or less responsive. If your baby’s sleep has suddenly increased along with other unusual symptoms like fever, rashes, or difficulty breathing. What You Can Do: Let the baby sleep as much as they need, but ensure they are feeding adequately. Monitor wet and dirty diapers (at least 6-8 wet diapers daily). Observe for any changes in behavior or alertness when awake.
