Is It Normal For Infants To Sleep 10 To 12 Hours Continuously?
I have a 6 week old that sleeps 10 to 12 hours straight daily.When she wakes,she stays up and cries constantly for 8 to 10 hours before sleeping.She weighed 5 kilos at birth so she is breastfed until my wife seems to run out of milk.Then we go to a formula.Her stools sometimes looks to have some blood inside.Does this sound familiar and what should I do?

Every baby his or her own biological clock . It's normal for babies to sleep so long.
Feeding should be on demand.
There is no cause for concern.
Take care
