Question

The baby is two months old. Today, the baby slept from 1 PM to 5 PM, woke up to drink milk, and then went back to sleep. Normally, the baby would wake up every two hours to drink milk. Parents are worried about whether this change in sleep pattern is normal and how to deal with it.

Answer

Based on the parent’s description, the baby has had a longer sleep time today and fewer feedings, but this is an isolated incident and usually doesn’t require excessive concern. It is recommended that parents continue to observe the baby’s condition at night, particularly the temperature. If the baby continues to exhibit abnormal sleep patterns or develops a fever, it is advisable to consult a doctor for professional advice.
