Patient's question:
Patient Age: Three and a half monthsDetailed Condition and Purpose of Consultation: My son is now three and a half months old, exclusively breastfed. He sleeps for about 11 hours at night and no more than 2 hours during the day. Moreover, each sleep session is very short, lasting around 10 minutes. Is this normal? Should a child of this age be supplemented with vitamin A and D or calcium? Thank you
Doctor's answer:
For a baby who is three and a half months old, sleep time should be around 16 to 17 hours per day, with three daytime naps of 2 to 2.5 hours each, and about 10 hours of nighttime sleep. However, every baby is different, and as long as the baby is in good spirits, eating well, and developing normally, there is no major concern. Generally, doctors recommend that women with signs of postpartum consultation risks should maintain a balanced diet, avoid spicy and stimulating as well as cold foods. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to having a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
