Patient's question:
Baby is 25 days old. Recently, I've noticed that he enjoys napping more than before. Previously, he played in the morning and slept in the afternoon, but now he naps after eating both in the day and at night. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
A newborn refers to an infant from the time of delivery from the mother's body until 28 days after birth, starting from the umbilical cord. The baby is almost always in a deep sleep state, with daily sleep duration typically around 20 hours, except during feeding times. Currently, the baby is 25 days old and in the neonatal period, with sleep time slightly increased. However, if the baby is eating, urinating, and defecating normally, it falls within the normal range. Careful observation of the baby's mental state shows no issues, so there is generally no need to worry.
