Patient's question:
Baby is 25 days old. Recently, I've noticed that he likes to take naps 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 the fetus is delivered from the mother's body and begins to breathe independently via the umbilical cord until the age of 28 days after birth. The baby is almost entirely 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. While sleep time may be slightly increased, as long as the baby is feeding normally, urinating, and defecating within the normal range, there is no cause for concern. Careful observation of the baby's mental state shows no issues, so there is generally no need to worry.
