hello Doctor, My baby is 15 days old now. She sleeps a lot during day n night but the problem is she won't get up for feed. Most of the time there is huge gap between feed almost it takes 5 to 6 hrs.So can u plz suggest is it ok else plz suggest how should I avoid this gap.

A. It is pretty normal in newborns to sleep for long. There is no need to wake up a baby for feed. Always feed the baby on demand. Burp the baby during and after each feed. In a month or so, the baby will be able to establish a proper feeding pattern. So do not worry. Make sure that the baby passes urine atleast 6-8 times in a day.
