Matthew seems to be having a VERY sleepy day. I've never seen him sleep so much! He had a usual night last night, woke 2 times to eat, didn't want to go back to sleep right away. Same as always. But today I can't seem to be able to keep him awake. Should I let him sleep? I'm afraid he wont sleep AT ALL tonight if I do. He's 5 1/2 weeks, is this normal for his age? I switched his formula today...now it's milk-based. I wonder if that could have something to do with it...

Sounds like a growth spurt to me...My daughter will sleep almost around the clock when she's growing.

Really? That would make sense I guess. The past two days he's been eating way more than he used to.

I agree with Jbear (who always has great answers!) my son did the same thing when he was brand new. I guess it just makes them tired to grow so fast!

The more they grow, the longer they will sleep at night, too.

sheree- holy cats! your baby is really growing! i wonder how much ben weighs now as he'll be 6 weks on monday. he was 8 lb at birth and 9 lb 9 oz at his one month check-up. yeah, ben will stay up to eat a lot during a growth spurt, then sleep a lot for a couple days afterwards. i think it is pretty normal.
