I'm a first time mom, and I swear that every baby chat site has all of these people talking about the amazing things their babies are doing - sleeping through the night, gaining 3 lbs in the first month, creeping, etc It makes me scared that my baby isn't normal. My baby will be 4 weeks tomorrow, and she primarily seems to have 2-3 hour to three hour long really active periods a day most days. The rest of the time she sleeps or naps waking, during the day, every one to two hours to feed, and at night every two to three hours. She's usually only fussy when she's hungry or first wakes up. She is tracking things with her eyes well, and holding up and turning her head fairly well on tummy time. She tries to scoot, but can't yet. She also has only gained about a pound so far (she's breastfed.) Is this normal?
I know, I'm a paranoid mom. Sorry...
