Question
In recent days, the baby’s sleep time has significantly increased. The baby used to be full of energy, but now, after waking up at 6 a.m., the baby needs to sleep for over an hour from 10 a.m., and then again for over an hour after 12 p.m. This situation is different from before, and parents want to know if it is normal.
Answer
Hello. Based on your description, the baby’s sleep time has increased. As long as the baby’s diet and bowel movements are normal, this situation is usually nothing to worry about. However, if the baby’s food intake decreases and urine output decreases, and the baby remains drowsy, it may be necessary to pay attention. Considering the baby’s history of head trauma, although it is difficult to determine whether there is a direct connection, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for examination, such as a head CT or MRI, to rule out the possibility of brain hemorrhage. Please continue to monitor the baby’s food intake and urine output, and follow-up care should be conducted according to the doctor’s advice.
