Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they shake. How many hours should the baby sleep in a day?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, infants aged 2-6 months sleep 3-4 times a day, with a total sleep duration of 14-18 hours (1.5-2 hours each time during the day, and about 8-10 hours at night). Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is a brain disorder caused by hypoxia in newborns during the perinatal period, primarily resulting from intrauterine distress or neonatal asphyxia. In some cases, it can occur due to brain damage caused by other reasons. It is more common in full-term infants who suffer from asphyxia but can also occur in premature infants.
