Jul. 21st, 2005 04:01 pmrecently my baby (who is 2 months old already doubled his birthweight and eats about 45 ounces of formula a day) has been sleeping all day and only getting up to eat. i can hardly keep him up for more than 2 hours throughout the day. i think he's just going through a growths spurt cuz he sleeps all day and still sleeps all night. sometimes he sleeps so soundly that i go in there just to make sure he's still breathing. he's already on cereal so that helps a little but sometimes he just refuses to eat his cereal. i dont know what to do. he's either sleeping eating or screaming.

Stop and think about what you're doing, and maybe that's why your son is asleep all the time!
