Patient's question:
The baby is a little over a month old. Today, they've been napping all day. They wake up to drink milk when hungry, and they drink while keeping their eyes closed. After drinking, they go back to napping. Their spirits are a bit sluggish. Their temperature was measured and found to be normal, and their appetite is also good. The only thing is that they usually come down to play for one or two hours every day, but today they've been sleeping all day. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby sleeping a lot during naps is normal, and there's no need to worry too much. Pay close attention to monitoring the temperature, and if there's no fever, there's no need to take action yet. When the baby is hungry and nursing, you can talk to them and gently touch them to help them wake up a bit. Moreover, since they're not feeling well today and it's already evening, wait a little longer and continue to monitor closely, paying attention to preventing abdominal coldness. Based on your description, it's recommended to see a doctor for a check-up, as the baby is still very young. Pay close attention to preventing abdominal coldness.
