Is or was your newborn really sleepy?
Did you think your baby was defective because of how sleepy he was?
Did you ever wonder what is normal, when should your baby be more awake?
If your baby was sleepy after he/she was born, you should listen to this episode. And that is probably everyone.
If you are a new listener, we would love to hear from you. Please consider leaving us a review on itunes or sending us an email with your suggestions and comments to [email protected]
