Patient's question:
Newborn baby on the 8th day, falls asleep quickly after latching onto the nipple for naps, and almost only nurses for about 5 minutes each time. Then, they are often hungry and can't sleep for long periods; this is also the case at night, with no naps. What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, generally, it takes about 20 minutes to nurse, and when you hear the sound of swallowing, the baby is full. Currently, the baby's nursing time is short, indicating they haven't eaten enough. It is recommended that when the baby is sleeping, you can gently move their feet or pinch their ears to wake them up and help them focus on nursing. The above advice is for the question "How to deal with a newborn baby falling asleep immediately after latching on the nipple on the 8th day." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
