​What causes a baby to suddenly become sleepy?

Babies are very important to every family, especially the baby's healthy development and growth, which is a concern of almost every parent. In particular, issues such as the baby's diet and sleep are the top priority of parents. Especially when the baby becomes sleepy, parents are very worried. So what is the reason for the baby's sudden sleepiness?

Drink plenty of water, eat light and easily digestible food, and do a routine blood test when necessary and use medications appropriately based on the test results.

First of all, we need to look at the baby's mental state, body position, appetite, urination and defecation, etc. Generally, you can start feeding sugar water 2 to 4 hours after birth. Try feeding 1 to 2 times without vomiting, then switch to milk after 6 to 8 hours.

Generally, newborns do not sleep more than 20 hours a day. More than 20 hours is considered drowsiness, which may be caused by two situations. One is sepsis. Pay attention to whether the baby has symptoms such as not eating, not crying, and not moving. At this time, blood culture diagnosis is needed. Secondly, bilirubin encephalopathy can also cause drowsiness. This situation will occur if the baby has high jaundice.

If there are no other symptoms, it may be related to the season. People tend to feel sleepy in spring. If in addition to drowsiness, there are other symptoms, such as vomiting, headache, poor appetite, poor spirits, etc. Then you need to see a doctor promptly.

After reading the above introduction, I believe everyone will find that the reasons for baby's sleepiness are actually very complicated. It may be caused by simple seasonal changes, or it may be caused by the baby's physical health. Therefore, it is recommended that parents take their baby to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to find out the root cause of the baby's sleepiness.
