What is the reason for a newborn sleeping all day and not eating for three days?

Patient's question:

Newborn 3 days old, slept all day, didn't eat anything, and couldn't be woken up. What's going on?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Newborns grow and develop rapidly and have high nutritional needs. Due to their small stomach capacity, they will cry repeatedly and require care. Based on the current situation, if a newborn appears drowsy and unwilling to breastfeed three days after birth, it may be related to conditions such as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy or hypoglycemia. It is important to monitor body temperature and make a comprehensive judgment based on the delivery conditions. It is recommended to seek medical attention at a better hospital. All good hospitals are excellent, and we wish the baby good health!
