Patient's question:
Why doesn't the baby nap during the day? They keep asking to be held or constantly want to nurse. This is why, I'm very worried about it. What kind of assistance is needed for the baby's growth and development?Why doesn't a newborn like to nap during the day?
Doctor's answer:
First, carefully observe how much sleep the baby gets in 24 hours. If the baby doesn't sleep during the day, then the sleep time at night and during the night should be relatively long, otherwise, the baby will be very tired and lack energy to play. Besides, is it because the mother exercised a lot during pregnancy, didn't get deep sleep, and took naps? If the baby also has very little deep sleep at night and sleeps less than 10 hours, that is too little. It is best to take the child for a thorough check-up. However, generally speaking, a child's sleep time would never be less than 10 hours.Survival care: Don't worry too much. If the baby is in good spirits, that's fine. It might get better as the child gets older. Some children are a bit hyperactive.
