Default Paranoid new mom question #4521 - now sleeping too much?

We'll get this all worked out soon.

Since Sunday, DD has been feeding like a maniac. Yesterday she slept 2
1hr stretches, and a few 10-15 minute naps throughout the day.
Otherwise, she was feeding. Plenty of wet diapers and poops were either
green or yellow - equal # of both.

She fed last night at 10, then again at 12, then basically slept til
6am. I know a long stretch is ok, but this was 6 hours! now, she did
wake about 2, but wasn't interested in nursing. I nursed her anyway and
she managed 5 mins before pursing her lips and konking out. The 6am
nursing was kind of the same, but I managed to wake her more and get
another 10 mins out of her (i had pumped a bit due to engorgement, so
hopefully what she got was already hindmilk). and she's sleeping again.


Sounds like the post-growth spurt sleep ;-)
I wished I'd been able to sleep at times like those, but I spent more time
worried and uncomfortable with breasts like melons.
