really is this normal?

I know I asked this before but my 11 day old sleeps so much! She kind of wakes up to eat (she doesn't rly open her eyes, just fusses and munches on her hands) so I feed her and she's out again! And sometimes when she starts fussing/crying and I pick her up she instantly falls asleep before I can feed her. She does have some awake periods during the day but not usually until late afternoon. Last night around dinner time I managed to keep her awake for over an hour. But it just seems like she's always sleeping. And she's almost impossible to wake up too..

    If she is heaving frequent pee diapers then she ain't dehydrated. And then nothing to worry about. U r lucky!!

    My daughter was the same way at first. As long as she is waking up to eat and has ast least 4 wet diapers a day (though I am sure it is at least double that) everything u
    Is fine. After she hit 2 wks she started being awake more. She is 24 days now.

    If you want to keep her awake to feed you can try changing her diaper, feeding her in only her diaper, tickling her feet or using a cold wet wash cloth. When its too cozy babies fall asleep while eating. And if shes peeing enough then she should be ok.

    3 since 5am so far @mzmommy1st so i think that's good right. what is it at least 4-5 a day is normal? Is more bad? she does nurse pretty frequently, even tho she doesn't fully wake up lol
