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 each day, they sleep even more soundly, and after drinking water, they fall back asleep immediately. How anxious! ////By the way, my nanny has told us several times with a smile, "Have you put sleeping pills in the formula?" 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 a possibility of illness.Regarding the baby's condition mentioned above, 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, symptomatic 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, and regular health check-ups should be scheduled for the baby during daily life. As the baby grows, complementary foods should be gradually introduced to provide balanced nutrition.
