Zia is almost 2 months old, and I'm getting concerned about how much she is sleeping. We've not been out of the house today, as I needed a rest, and she has spent most of the day sleeping.
I sometimes get very tired, and find it exhausting to try to keep her 'entertained' all day. I suffer from depression (though I've been doing really well for the last few months), so I try to avoid sleeping during the day as it is not good for me and makes me very lethargic. Usually I take her out for several hours every day (doctors appointments, the mall, swimming, the library, etc.) so she gets lots of stimulation, but on the days when we stay in I feel guilty because I just want to sleep and don't have the energy to be doing fun things with her.
While other people talk about their babies having 'naps' as though they're awake most of the time, Zia seems to sleep most of the time and has periods of being awake (usually 2 to 4 hours at a time). Is this normal, or is she sleeping too much?
