I had the same problem for 4 weeks. Finally swaddlers sensitive, washing with cotton balls soaked in warm, previously boiled water and gently pat drying with soft paper towel plus new A&D with zink (white cream) for each diaper change helped. I also bathe him in water (no soaps) every day and change dieapers as soon as wet or dirty (swaddlers sensitive have wetness indicator ). Good luck!

Hi there! My baby will be 4 weeks old this coming Friday and had the EXACT same problem. She was about 2 weeks early and her biliruben levels were acceptable but SLIGHTLY high so her doctor thinks that could have been the reason for her being so sleepy... She had me wake her every 3 hours to feed for 1 week straight to try to get her on a more acceptable feeding schedule.. that ended last Thursday and it has helped A LOT! She is now on a perfect feeding schedule and it actually helped my milk come in WAY better. I was told that she shouldn't sleep more than 4 hours at night at this age... Good luck - and I hope this helps. :0)
