A. you should always give oil massage to the baby in the morning followed by warm water bath and give proper feeding and let the baby sleep this creates relaxment to the baby due to which baby sleeps for a long time so nothing to worry about and you can maximum wait for 4 hours

A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. If baby sleeps for 5 hours at a stretch then no need to panic. Pleas massage baby feet with coconut oil for sound sleep. Keep baby room dimly lit and do not make noise while the baby is sleeping… Thanks and take care

A. Hi mom, This is quite normal in new born babies. No need to worry. If your baby weight gain is normal then sleeping at a stretch 5 hours is not a problem. Don't worry, enjoy your motherhood.
