my daughter slept a lot longer than full term babies. Its was honestly like having a new born up until about 9 months of age!
She was 3lb 7oz when she was born aswell
The HV and hospital said be happy when shes sleeping, thats when shes grows!
Shes now 4 (well in a couple of weeks) and I struggle to get her to go to bed never mind go to sleep lol!

Kaiya was born at 32 weeks and for the first 3-4 months all she did was sleep, it's normal for prems to sleep a lot as they have a lot more growing to do than term babies. As long as he's eating well i wouldn't worry to much.

How old is your lo now? I found with all of mine they woke up more once they were past their due date. Mind you, my 9 month old still sleeps most of the day away, she wakes up for food and a quick play then falls asleep again!

hi, my ds was born at 34 wks weighing 3, 11.
he is lovely and happy, but he sleeps a lot, i feel bad as i put him in his cot so i can get on with jobs and he just sleeps, he is well and feeding ok,
do prem babies sleep a lot?






adam seems to only wake up when he's hungry and maybe a few minutes extra to look around. goes mad if i wake him for any reason haha. my due date was supposed to be this coming friday so we'll see if his patterns change.
