What is the reason for a 52-day-old baby sleeping a lot during the day?

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, and 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 experiencing a reversal of day and night essentially means the baby is always sleeping during the day. In reality, this is often caused by parents not taking good care of the baby. The baby sleeps for too long during the day, so by night, they are very energetic and do not feel sleepy, let alone fall asleep. At this point, the parents have a hard time, because the baby is small and cannot sleep, they definitely need someone to accompany them. If they are not accompanied, they will cry and cause constant trouble.
