It's normal for some babies to have a totally different wake sleep cycle than adults normally go by. Very often this can change even from one week to the next. Like cj2112 said - if everything else is functioning fine then don't worry. If the baby is happy and you have plenty of diaper to change then you know they're fine. With my daughter she tended to feed very frequently and for short periods of time. I nursed her as well and breastmilk is more easily digested that formula so some records of how often a child should eat can be a little off if they are based on formula and not breastmilk. Personally I co-slept with my daughter for the first couple months. Partly because it was so difficult to get in and out of bed with a C-section for the first couple weeks. I got much better sleep when I was with her. It was funny my body somehow knew not to roll over at all. Sometimes I'd even wake up because I'd laid so long on the same side. After a while when she was able to start rolling over and moving around a little I would even wake up and she will have latched on while I slept. It saved me a lot of extra waking up and work.
Congrats. They are all beautiful to us. Keep taking good care of your new little girl.
