Awake time

My LO all of a sudden is sleeping more than usual.  She wakes up from a nat, eats, plays/tummy time/ and then starts to fall asleep again.  She is 6 weeks old and had never slept this much during the day.  How much should she be awake during the day.  This is very unlike her.  All of this started when we switched formula three days ago.  Also, she is sleeping up to 6 hours spans at night.  Should I be waking her up before that to eat?

Sounds like it could be the 6 week growth spurt. That's terrific she's sleeping as long as she is.  As long as she is back up to her birth weight just let her sleep.  If it doesn't seem like she is getting enough during the day you can always add a 1/2 oz or 1oz of formula to eat bottle to compensate.

Generally as long as she's back up to her birth weight, you don't need to wake her to eat.  Cherish the extra time for you to relax or get stuff done!!

She is well over her birthweight and gaining at an appropriate rate.  I am happy she is sleeping through the night for the most part.  I have to go back to work in a few weeks and could use the sleep.
