Patient's question:
Stimulating or unpleasant sounds can startle babies, what can be done if the baby doesn't sleep soundly?Doctor's answer:
The normal sleep time for newborns is 16-20 hours. Long sleep duration is beneficial for organ development and neural maturation. However, some newborns do not like to sleep, as the adaptation process to the environment after birth has not established a regular sleep pattern. Infrequent breastfeeding can lead to hunger in newborns. Uncomfortable symptoms, such as delayed handling of urine and stool or pathological issues like otitis media, eczema, and intestinal cramps, can also affect newborns.
