2mth old baby cant sleep during day

Question

It started on week 5-6 where our baby once wake up at 12pm for her feed, she cant get to sleep for the whole afternoon until late evening, recently these few days it dragged until 10pm. Means baby is awake for like 8-10 hours straight! Is this normal for a 2 month old baby? Keep fussing and wanting us to carry etc. When she fall asleep in our arms she seems fine but when put her down in her cot she start to cry and we are so drained and exhausted, night time she can sleep for 5-6 hours straight before she wakes up crying for milk/diaper change.Appetite grew bigger as she is on formula feeding, max is 150ml per feed, normal feed is 120ml and sometimes will want more after a 120ml feed, poop and pee normal.Thanks in advance, #firstbaby #advicepls First-time dad

2 month old needs a lot of sleep. wake time of 8h is too long. my 9 month baby only has maximum wake time of around 5h. at 2 month, baby has not learn to fall asleep independently and needs help. keep swaddling and have a short nap routine so that baby get used and know it is time to rest.

when baby is below 6 months they need lots of sleep. your baby is fussy maybe because he or she is tired and feel uncomfortable to fall asleep you can't let baby sleep so little please seek for help soon

I was having the same issue. My baby is now 2 months 10 days and was fussing. Hes obviously sleepy but refuse to sleep on his own, need to carry, coax. Sometimes, I cant even sit, he wants me to carry him and walk around. Once placed down, he will cry and whine. Tiring for parents and also worrying if they are getting enough sleep to develop. Its getting better now with the baby sarong I bought. I will put him in and he will sleep better. Once I see that he is deeply asleep, I will carry him out and put him in the cot. Works for me. Im able to do housework and get rested. As for the feed amount, my son is on the same range too. Dont worry, they are smart little people, once full, they will turn away or stick out their tongue (mine does!). As long as they are not vomiting, poop and pee normal then its okay. FYI - I checked with the PD and so Im assured that the feed amount is fine. 😊
