Question
My four-day-old baby often takes naps without crying or making a fuss. She sleeps soundly from morning until noon after being fed, and doesn’t cry or make noise at all. She just hums a couple of times, opens her eyes to look around, and then falls back asleep. Is this normal?
Answer
For a four-day-old baby, if they do not feed for long periods, it may lead to hypoglycemia. It is recommended to gently wake the baby every two to three hours to ensure they eat. If breast milk is insufficient, formula should be provided. If the baby continues to refuse to eat, it is advisable to seek further medical examination at a hospital.
