When the adjacent rooms in the hospital were filled with wails of infants, my son was sleeping all the time "ALL THE TIME". When I was struggling with the milk supply to come, he just kept sleeping. No matter how much I prodded his ears and tickled his feet, he just kept sleeping and refused to feed. The nurses kept reassuring saying that I just have to keep prodding his ears. But it didn't help. When the pediatrician came to check on the baby, I voiced my concern. He advised to keep the baby warm and then we would see a difference.
How very right he was. I wrapped him up snugly, switched airconditioner off, the kept him warm and his wakeful hours increased. Its another matter that my baby started sweating quite a lot esp on his head and refused to be covered two weeks after his birth :)
Well, if your newborn sleeps without even nursing then try to keep your little one wrapped up and you may find the difference.
