Patient's question:
Health consultation description: Hello, my son didn't eat much and was picky about food since the third day after birth. On the first day, he was very energetic and ate well.Doctor's answer:
Newborns are prone to fatigue and sleepiness because their brains have not yet fully developed. Only sufficient deep sleep can ensure the growth and maturation of various organs. Most newborns sleep for about 20 hours a day. At two months old, infants sleep about 18 hours of deep sleep per day. However, there is no need to strictly follow the recommended sleep times for children as written in books. If the child is eating well and is happy, there is no need to worry even if the sleep duration does not meet general recommendations.
