Question
Is a newborn’s sleepiness normal? Do most children love to sleep a lot right after birth? I’m really worried because it seems like my baby is always sleeping.
Answer
If the baby shows an increased tendency to sleep more than usual, it might be a sign of a health issue that needs attention. It’s recommended to take the child to the hospital for a check-up to confirm if there are any underlying health problems. While newborns usually do sleep more, observe whether the baby is falling asleep more easily than before or if there are any other unusual symptoms. Don’t worry too much, but also don’t ignore any changes in your baby.
