Is it normal for a two-month-old baby to be particularly sleepy?

Patient's question:

Patient Gender: A two-month-old baby spends all their time sleeping except for eating, drinking, and elimination. At 42 days, their check-up showed average to above-average weight and height, but they do not turn their head or look with their eyes when searching for objects or sounds. The doctor said they are developing more slowly. The doctor then suggested waking them up daily with face washing, bathing, and giving them water, followed by training. However, after bathing, they sleep even better, and after drinking water, they fall back asleep immediately. So anxious... ////
By the way, my nanny has smiled at us several times, asking if the formula has sleeping pills in it. She is a grandmother who is almost 60 years old.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the analysis of the information you provided, the two-month-old baby has suddenly become very sleepy and lacks energy upon waking. This situation should be considered as potentially indicating illness.
Regarding the baby's condition, it is recommended to take the baby to see a pediatrician in person for a check-up as soon as possible. Once the situation is clarified, appropriate treatment can be administered. It could be due to a cold or other conditions.
It is advised that after the baby is born, proper feeding should be ensured. Regularly take the baby to the hospital for health check-ups during daily life, and gradually introduce complementary foods and nutrients as the baby grows.
