Question
An 85-day-old baby suddenly shows signs of excessive sleepiness and a lack of appetite, but no other obvious symptoms. What could be the possible causes?
Answer
Hello, based on the situation you described, it is initially judged that this may be due to the baby’s digestive system not yet fully adapting. It is recommended to provide the baby with ample water and offer light, easy-to-digest food. Newborns are still in the process of developing and perfecting their physiological systems, and at this stage, babies should be breastfed on demand. As long as the baby’s urination and defecation are normal, and the weight is steadily increasing, it is normal for the baby to fall asleep immediately after eating, and there is no need to worry or intervene excessively.
