Since you are nursing, it is important to know whether or not your baby is getting enough to eat at each nursing. With my oldest I did not produce enough milk so I had to supplement some formula, with my youngest, to much lol. And really, a 5 week old is not going to sleep long without being hungry, and there body cloak is not set yet. The best advice I ever heard was sleep when baby does, good advice, but not always possible LOL Ask your pediatrician about how to determine your making enough milk, he/she may ask for a sample for testing for nutritional value also, and whether or not you should suplimenting. Good Luck, and enjoy this time while you can ;)

My 5week old baby hardly sleeps
He only sleeps for two hours at a time and only does that aout three times a day. Other than that he cat naps for only an hour or less. Is this normal to not sleep very much? Could it be something that I am eating that is making him uncomfortable and therefore unable to sleep for very long?I am nursing and have already cut out all dairy.
