Is it normal for 5 weeks old baby to not sleep for so many hours?

I tried to make sure baby is not too hot or cold. Somehow she can be almost awake from 9am to 5pm and not really sleep?! She only sleeps if we go out on the stroller or carrier during the day… Advice will be appreciated! thanks in advance

Hi mummy! Yess i remember having this issue and it was sooooo tiring! Baby did not want to nap or sleep during the day! Always awake. Mainly cause they still dont know how to differentiate morning and night and yet to have a “routine”. One of the things that helped was i increased his milk intake from 90-120ml, by 2m+ he alr has a routine. Feed - play - nap.

I see! So example every 2 hours if baby needs to drink milk, the routine is also feed- play- nap? Thanks!:)
