Newborn awake in evenings

Hello! My 2-week old newborn has been pretty good at waking for feeds every 2.5 hours, keeping to 45 minutes wake windows and sleeping for most parts of the day, EXCEPT between 4-8pm everyday where he usually stays awake, is a little bit more fussy and wants to be carried more. He doesn't show any sleep cues (no yawning / closing eyes) and does frequent small feeds during this period of time. Is this normal? Have you done anything differently to your baby's routine if you're experiencing the same? 🙏

Ahhh, gotcha, thank you for the reassurance haha It's just, hearing all these things about wake windows and sleep hours etc, and seeing your newborn not follow it so consistently sometimes can be a little nerve wrecking! 🤷‍♀️🥹
