    My DD has been sleeping almost all day. She wakes up to nurse and then falls asleep after nursing a little bit. She has been awake a couple of times for 1/2 hour-1 hour and then back to sleep. Also, wakes up as soon as I put her down and screams but then falls asleep as so as I hold her.
    The only reasonI'm concerned is becasue she is usually awake a lot more during the day. She seems to crash and sleep more during the day every couple of days. Normal?

    Growth spurt maybe?

    My guess would be a growth spurt. Mine always slept more when they were growing. Lots to eat and sleep. I wouldn't worry unless it continues for a couple more days. She could also be feeling a little under the weather.

    Sounds normal to me. From your siggy, it looks like they were born at 33 weeks. That would make their corrected age something like 1-2 weeks old, right? Sounds just fine! Unless you see signs of illness, I wouldn't worry a bit :)

    Sorry, I should have been more specific...this is about my singleton, not my twins (hope that's ok! :FIFblush: ). So, she is 8 weeks today. Is this a normal time for growth spurt? I can't remember anything from when the twins were this age!

    Could be a growth spurt. But it might be worth taking a temp just to be sure. If she's really, really listless and lethargic it could be illness. Probably fine, though!
