Hi, yes it’s very normal. At 5 weeks, baby can’t tell the difference between day and night. If crying, check for the common things: need for diaper change, hunger, scared. First change the diaper, then swaddle the baby and feed the baby. Most of the time, one of these will help the baby stop crying. Once all these needs are met, baby will usually go back to sleep. Some babies will cry once you put him/her back in the cot. They are insecure and scared. A tight swaddle and holding the baby in your arms usually helps them fall asleep. Put baby into the cot gently after that.
