Question

A 6-month-old baby can’t lift its head, can roll over, has normal appetite, and has no major abnormalities, but sometimes it trembles. How many hours should a baby sleep each day?

Answer

Hello, generally speaking, babies from 2 to 6 months old should sleep 3 to 4 times a day, with a total of 14 to 18 hours of sleep (1.5 to 2 hours per nap during the day, about 8 to 10 hours at night), ischemic hypoxic encephalopathy is a brain disorder caused by hypoxia in perinatal newborns, mainly due to intrauterine distress and neonatal asphyxia. A few cases can occur due to brain damage caused by other reasons. It often occurs in full-term infants with asphyxia but can also occur in premature infants.
