It's just like you can't really play with her, all she wants to do is nurse when she is awake. If she is not nursing she gets fussy and starts to cry.

all of my friends have babies. i'm the only one that doesn't. but the babies won't interact with you until like 6-9 months. your baby is 4 weeks old...all they do is sleep and eat. it is normal just enjoy her while she's tiny and cute.

She's 4 weeks old. She can't see very far yet. She mostly sleeps, eats and poops at this age.
4 weeks old means she probably just went through a growth spurt this past week, which means that yeah, she'll want to nurse all the time right now. Growth spurts are at about 10 days, 2 weeks, 3 weeks and 6 weeks of age. You can expect her to begin to space her feedings out a little bit after that.
Is she gaining weight OK? Having plenty of wet and poopy diapers so you know she's getting enough to eat?
I wouldn't expect her to be "sociable" until she's at least a couple of months old....say 3 mos.

This age is tough. She will start smiling at you around 2 months and that makes it easier. My nine month old son was the same way. He was fussing if he wasn't eating or sleeping. Do you have a swing? Both of my children really liked the swing when they were that age. Have you tried singing to her or do you have any toys that play music? That can help with the fussiness, too. Good luck. It is difficult but it will get better.

For the first month of their existence children are very sleepy. i do not imagine they have truly realized that they are out of the womb yet. yet after their first develop spurt being wide awake further and extra in the course of the day. they're attempting to understand what is going on it the international and they prefer to be wide awake to attempt this. yet before they (or you) comprehend it, they're overtired and fussy. only attempt to bypass with the bypass, and problem rather a lot less. (i comprehend that is demanding, you problem about each little component.) Oh and that i completely relate to what you stated about the nursing, it wasn't unusual for my daughter to nurse for an hour and a 0.5. in case you go with to bypass her to the crib, attempt nursing her on a pillow. Then placed the pillow and her interior the crib, this can be a lot less probably to bump her and wake her up or supply her the impact that she is falling. Then ease the pillow faraway from her and out of the crib.

Its four weeks old it can barely see at that point. When its 3 months old generally maybe a little less it will start smiling and being more sociable. But for the real sociable stuff its even later.

Yep...the first two months, your newborn will drift in and out of consciousness...you just have to be content with staring at your beautiful sleeping angel. BUT, then about the 3rd month, they perk up and are interested in their surroundings. Congrats on your new baby! Have fun...it's a true joy.

Don't rush it - she'll be smiling at you by two months, very interactive by four months, sitting at six months, crawling by a year, walking by 18 months, talking by two....and then you'll wish she was just a little month old bub being nursed.
