Baby had sticky poop without drinking milk, what's going on?

Patient's question:

The baby was born at 8 PM yesterday. From 3 AM, they drank 5 milliliters of milk, but now on the third day at 3 PM, they haven't drunk any milk and only sleep during the day. They can't be woken up. For a baby born at 37 weeks and 4 days via a normal delivery, they just had a very sticky bowel movement and a single diaper change, and they haven't cried either—they've just been sleeping during the day. Is the baby not feeling well?

Doctor's answer:

There are no major issues; this is a normal phenomenon. Newborn babies spend most of their day in deep sleep, passing through it. Therefore, this is not a problem. During deep sleep, they will experience intellectual or physical growth. The above suggestions are for the question "Why does my baby have very sticky poop without drinking milk?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
