Question
How should one deal with a newborn who is continuously in a coma and sleeps excessively?
Answer
Newborns typically spend about 20 to 22 hours sleeping each day, but it should not be deep sleep. Usually, they wake up every 2 to 4 hours due to hunger and defecate. If you notice that the newborn is excessively drowsy and has reduced feeding, it is advisable to undergo further examination. Most of a newborn’s time is spent napping, usually around 20 hours. Depending on the examination results, if there are no abnormalities, you can care for the newborn normally and schedule regular check-ups.
