Patient's question:
Baby is 52 days old. During the day, they can sleep for three or four hours at a time. At night, they sleep for a while and then wake up. When picked up and comforted, they fall back asleep. What could be the reason for this? What should be done?Doctor's answer:
During the day, the baby loves to sleep, which might be due to the reversal of day and night. Newborns have a reversed day and night cycle, basically meaning the baby sleeps all day. In reality, this is often because the parents haven't taken good care of the baby. The baby sleeps for too long during the day, so by night, they are very energetic and don't feel sleepy at all, let alone falling asleep. At this point, the parents have a hard time, because the baby is small and can't sleep, they definitely need someone to stay with them. If they aren't accompanied, the baby will cry and cause a lot of trouble.
