Is there too much pressure on new mums to lose baby weight?

My baby has bearly slept all day and been constantly crying every I put him down/feeding all day.
I have seen on various websites that newborns normally sleep for 16hours a day but he hasnt slept anywhere near that.

would you be worried? I am starting to worry now, but I worry over everything

i wouldn't be worrying hun, all babies are different. unless xander is showing signs of being poorly ie high temp, excessive vomiting, dirroreah or sunken/bulging soft spot etc etc, this may well just be his temprement!!! today isla has been just as you have described your lo, and usually she sleeps, feeds and poops, but today she has been grisly and unsettled, but showing no signs of illness. sometimes our lo's will have days like this, but if at anytime you really are worried, please do not hesitate to call your gp or health visitor for advice. you won't be wasting anyones time!!! xxx

thank you....

we just sponged him down and put him back in his chair, his dad rocked him for a bit and he went off to sleep, has been for about 5 minutes now, hopefully he'll stay sleeping a little while.

I feel so silly and like I am worrying about everything, not sure if I have got the 'baby blues' as I have been feeling really upset and down too. I have a midwifes appointment to get him weighed again tomorrow afternoon so if he is no better then I will ask her opinion.

I am feeling a little better... more confident being alone with him now his dad has gone back to work, though I still worry about him all the time and panic over every little thing.
Feelin a bit better in myself though.
