Question
Is it normal for a baby to sleep continuously for 9 hours?
Answer
A baby sleeping continuously for 9 hours may be normal, but it’s important to observe the overall sleep pattern and feeding habits of the baby. If the total sleep time of the baby during the day and night is close to 18 to 22 hours, and the baby appears lively and has good appetite when awake, then such a sleep pattern may be normal. However, if the baby experiences difficulty breathing, vomiting, or other discomfort during sleep, or appears tired or restless upon waking, it may be a sign of sleep problems, and it is advisable to consult with a doctor.
