To be fair, babies do sleep a lot. But they also wake up a lot. So we’ve gotta be constantly ready for whatever their vibe is.
Waking up a lot is a side effect of sleeping a lot. When the fall-asleep-count and the wakeup-count diverge by more than 1 parents tend to worry rather quickly.
Heehee you’re not wrong. Maybe I should’ve been more specific while stating the obvious: Newborn babies spend most of the day sleeping but wake up frequently & briefly for maintenance needs.
