re: What do you do with your newborn while they are awake?

Quoting ☼ Mª mª:" That's all I've been doing, I just feel like if I put him down while he's awake I'm neglecting him... I know I'm NOT but I just feel like if he's awake he HAS to be with me for some reason."

i felt the same. but there's not much you can do really. at that age I just went about my day doing what I had to do, talking to him about it all. It's like he listened and took it all in, stared at me the whole time. bless him. Dexter never slept much either and now at 13 weeks he has one nap a day! and that's only an hour. and sleeps 11 hours at night.
