It is normal you nave to understand that when a baby is your womb it is always eating constantly. This what they are used to. You're baby is just getting used to the world and his tummy is about the size of a dime if she would eat a lot then it wouldn't be normal. If you want to her to sleep more at night try keeping her awake during the day also give her a pacifier I know that a lot of you think that it is bad but really it comforts your baby and it might help him or her sleep through the night. Also try giving him or her a warm bath before bed put some lotion on and it might help I hope thinks work for you.

Yes, each baby is a different experience, but she may be getting up 3 or 4 times a night due to how little she eats during one setting. It is normal for babies to eat every 2-3 hours. Don't worry.. This will change, and you will get rest. Stay Strong.

Yeah, that is normal. I got lucky and both of my daughters (5 years and 7 months) started sleeping through the night at about 1 1/2 months old. But, before that, they are up at least 4 times a night. Shew, during that time I didn't know what sleep was!

Completly normal and something to get use to. Sleep a thing of the past. Not to discourage you but my son is 15 months and still not sleeping throught the night...

That is pretty normal for a 5 week old, both of mine did that, it is so exhausting being a mom to a newborn but your body will adjust, just try to nap with her if you can.
