3 weeks old

My babies are 3 weeks old today and they eat every 2-3 hrs and then fall right back to sleep. I feel like I should be doing something with them or do they pretty much just sleep all the time at this age? Should I be playing with them? Tummy time? Something? I'm not sure....

 

At this age they eat, sleep, pee, poop and repeat over and over and over. They'll become more alert and awake as the get older and then you can do more activies with them. But sounds like your doing all you need to be doing right now.

 

Sounds normal. I waited for months for my babies to finally wake up and interact. And when they did, I spent months trying to get them to nap!!!

I didn't worry about tummy time too much in the beginning (maybe a tad on the boppy pillows) because they were asleep all the time!

 

eat, sleep, poop, repeat!!!

This is soooo true!! enjoy them while they sleep...it doesn't last forever

 

Totally normal. Whenever you get some wake time, you can do little bits of tummy time with them. But they're not even caught up to zero yet - expect them to be little food/poop/sleep machines for quite a while!

 

Thats all katie did as well. Now I try to entertain her and keep her up a little while.
