My newborn is 14 days old. From the last 3 days he is sleeping more like at a strech of 4.5-5 hours. If I forcefully wale him up for feed he sleeps within 5-10 mins of feeding. If I wait for him to wake up he feeds properly . Should I be worried about him? Thank you.

A. dear mum, this is a normal behaviour for babies and you should not be worried. infants typically sleep for most of the time during the day. if your baby is active, alert and passing urine more than 7 times in 24 hours then feeding is sufficient.
