Question
Lately, my baby has been sleeping a lot more than usual. This has never happened before. My baby used to be full of energy. For the past two days, the baby has been waking up at 6 a.m. and falling asleep for over an hour at 10 a.m., and then again for over an hour after 12 p.m. Why is this happening?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, your baby has been sleeping a lot more recently. As long as the baby’s milk intake is normal and there are no issues with urination, this is a normal phenomenon. However, if there is less milk intake, less urine output, or if the baby keeps sleeping excessively, it may not be normal. Pay attention to the baby’s milk intake and urine output. According to your description, your baby may have had a brain injury in the past, and it’s hard to say whether there is a connection between the baby’s sleep condition and this. It is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination, such as a head CT or MRI, to rule out issues like intracranial hemorrhage.
