Question
My baby is 52 days old. They can sleep for three or four hours during the day. But at night, they wake up after a short sleep and need to be picked up and comforted before they can fall back asleep. What’s going on? What should I do?
Answer
The baby’s preference for sleeping during the day might be due to reversed day and night cycles. Newborns often have reversed day and night cycles, where they sleep too much during the day and are lively at night, making it difficult for them to fall asleep. At this point, parents should pay attention to adjusting the baby’s circadian rhythm, gradually increasing their sleep time at night to establish good sleep habits.
