A. Sleep pattern varies from baby to baby Generally baby sleep for 14-16 hrs at this age Keep a watch on urine output Baby should pass urine minimum 6-8 times per day Feed properly before sleep to ur baby Switch off or dim light before sleep Sing a song or cuddle ur baby Check and change urine and motion immediately after passing it Baby commonly wakes up 2-3 times at night for feed If baby is passing adequate urine ie minimum 6-8 times per day then no need to worry (20 -22 times per day also normal). Feed ur baby as per baby's demand only Don't force for feed. It will help. Exclusive breast feed ur baby till 6month of age.

A. Yes, short nursing sessions are normal — and perfectly fine unless your baby is having trouble gaining weight.
