Brief Answer:
No need to worry. It will be normal by 4 months of age

Detailed Answer:

Hello XXXXXXX
If baby is active, warm, pink; accepting feeds well, passing urine at least 5-6 times/days and passing stool then there is no need to worry. In neonates this behavior is usual. Check the nappy if baby cries ,feed him adequately with proper burping. Baby's sleep cycle usually get adjusted to day-night rhythm by 3-4 months of age. So need to worry.

Thanking you
Regards
