Why is my two-month-old baby suddenly sleepy?

We all know that babies often sleep most of the day after they are born. However, as the baby grows day by day, the sleep time will become less and less. Many two-month-old babies will suddenly become sleepy, which often makes many inexperienced parents particularly anxious. They don’t know if there is a problem with the baby’s health. So how should the sleepiness be relieved? Let’s understand why a two-month-old baby suddenly becomes sleepy.

Why is my two-month-old baby suddenly sleepy?

If a two-month-old baby has poor appetite and is sleepy, it is likely that he is zinc deficient. It is recommended that he go to the hospital for a trace element test. At the same time, the baby's feeding should be regular, because the secretion of digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract is time-dependent. If the digestive juice has been secreted without eating, the appetite will be gone after the digestive juice is discharged. The amount of digestive juice secretion and the interval time are related to age. The younger the age, the smaller the secretion amount and the shorter the interval time. If meals are not eaten at regular times, the secretion of digestive juice will be affected, and children will lose their appetite over time.

How to increase your child's appetite

Reduce external stimulation - When the baby is drinking milk, try to let the baby concentrate, and avoid the surrounding environment being too noisy, watching TV, toys or light stimulation.

Taking a bath will improve your appetite - after playing with your baby, mothers may try to give your baby a bath first, and you will find that your baby’s appetite has improved! Because the baby is still in an excited state after playing and burning calories, if the mother gives the baby a comfortable bath first to soothe the baby's emotions, it will be like an adult's appetite will naturally increase after soaking in a hot spring and relaxing the whole body!

The above is an introduction to why a two-month-old baby suddenly becomes sleepy. When encountering such symptoms, parents must understand the cause. It is normal for the baby to become sleepy because he is too tired from playing during the day. In addition, once the baby becomes sleepy and in a poor mental state, you should consult a doctor in time.
