Patient's question:
The newborn is 15 days old. Most of the time, they are napping. In the past two days, I've noticed that the baby is eating less than when they were first born. They eat a few bites and then fall back asleep. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Generally, babies should be fed approximately every three hours. Pay close attention to observing your baby's urine output in addition to their bowel movements. If the baby urinates sufficiently, there is no problem. It is recommended that you take good care of your baby and allow them to nurse approximately every three hours. Pay close attention to monitoring your baby's urine output. If the urine output is consistently low and the baby sleeps a lot during naps, it is advisable to consult a doctor. The above suggestions are in response to the question "Is it normal for a 15-day-old baby to sleep most of the time?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
