Newborn Sleeps Less than normal
My 2month old baby boy sleeps only around 6-8hours each day (considering a 24 hour window).Is this normal? I have read that newborns sleep around 14-18hours. Is there something wrong with my baby which causes him to sleep less? He has no other issues and is healthy otherwise .I have consulted the pediatrician but he did not comment on this!!
