Question
My baby is over one year old and has been sleeping almost the entire day today, only waking up to drink milk when hungry, and even then, he closes his eyes while drinking. Normally, the baby would wake up to play for one or two hours a day, but today, he has been sleeping continuously. Is this normal?
Answer
According to your description, the baby sleeping more during the nap is normal and there’s no need to worry excessively. Please pay attention to whether the body temperature is normal; if there’s no fever, you can temporarily not handle it. While the baby is drinking milk, you can talk to him or stroke him to slightly wake him up. Additionally, if the baby seems more tired than usual by evening, it’s recommended to continue observing and ensure the baby’s abdominal warmth. Since the baby is still quite young, it’s best to take him to a doctor for a check-up and pay attention to keeping his abdomen warm.
