Question
My baby is only 50 days old, and recently, during the day, she doesn’t eat much, she just sleeps. At night, she eats over 200 milliliters at one time, and also breastfeeds and drinks about 45 to 50 milliliters of plain water. What’s going on here?
Answer
Every child has different food needs. At this point, you should carefully observe your child’s mental state. If everything is normal with your child, then that is just her habit. Generally, newborns spend about 20 hours in deep sleep. If your child experiences abdominal pain or discomfort, that is not normal. Based on your description, it seems that your child has no problems. Just keep a close watch for now.
