Patient's question:
Baby's third day of birth, comatose, very difficult to wake up. If not woken up, they just sleep. Finally managed to wake them up, drank 30 ml, then slept for a long time! Very frail, lacking energy, jaundice level over 14.Later, they were sent to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital for a thorough examination, including a CT scan, which showed a very small amount of subarachnoid membrane tearing and pathological jaundice at 14.7. They stayed in an incubator for a week and received brain-stimulating injections! In the hospital, they were fed formula milk. The attending doctor said the baby had no issues. After returning home, the baby still loves napping and their skin tone has improved significantly! They only accept milk if woken up. The baby is always like this, and it's very worrying! They also don't cry much.
Doctor's answer:
A newborn sleeps for about 20-22 hours a day, but deep sleep will never be very deep, and there will often be disturbances. Approximately every 2-4 hours, the baby will cry due to hunger and have bowel movements. If the child is excessively deep in sleep and not eating, it is recommended to have further examination. Newborns, aside from feeding, mostly sleep during naps, usually for about 20 hours. Based on the examination report you provided, apart from the described conditions, I believe the child is fine. You can continue caring for the child as usual and have periodic follow-up examinations. The above suggestions are for the question "Baby born on the 3rd day, in a coma." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
