She will sleep loads its normal hun, youve got to think she would still be in your stomach now. The more she sleeps the more she will grow xx

my lo was born at 35 +2 (she is 4yrs now) all she did was sleep!
i asked the midwife if it was ok, she said it was totally normal, like mumof42009 said if she was still in ur tummy all she would be doing is sleeping and growing.
i was told 2 wake her 4 a feed every 3-4 hrs in the day tho cos she was a terible feeder x x

my lo now 1 was born 35+6 and she did sleep alot, but she also had jaundice which made her more sleepie. 'IMO' i would wake her for a feed.

mine were born at 34 weeks and they sleep all the time. i too was told to wake them every three hours to feed them as they wil sleep through their feed otherwise. so it seems normal but i would not let your baby go more than 4 hours without eating. i just start changning diapers to wake them!!

mine all slept until their due dates and then gradually decided to wake up a bit each day !!! XX

Sofia used to sleep all the time, in fact it wasn't until she was about 8 or 9 weeks that she started spending a bit more time awake.
She came home at 3 weeks old, and I was told to wake her every 3 hours for feeds, 4 hours max at night at first.
