If the baby is not awake, does it mean he is not hungry?

For new parents, most parents judge the baby's needs based on the baby's crying. Because the baby is relatively young, generally speaking, he can only express his emotions through crying. Parents must learn to meet the baby's needs through the baby's crying. If the baby is always asleep, does this mean that the baby is not hungry?

Does the baby not waking up mean he is not hungry?

1. Normally, the child is relatively young and sometimes the baby's sleep and diet are not very regular. As long as the child is not feeling unwell, it is generally okay. Give the baby some water appropriately. Considering that the child's sleeping habits are reversed, he needs the help of parents to gradually adjust his sleep time. Do not deprive him of sleep during the day. Pay attention to gradually adjusting the sleep time, such as gradually shortening the daytime sleep time.

2. It is recommended to feed on demand. If your baby is still sleeping when your milk is full, you should wake him up to feed him. Generally, it should be around six times in 24 hours. To determine whether he has eaten enough, you can look at the frequency of his urination. Normally, he should urinate 6-15 times a day, with a total urine volume of 30ml/kg body weight.

How long should a baby sleep?

1. Newborn babies spend most of their time sleeping and need about 18 to 22 hours of sleep a day. As your baby gets older, his sleep time will gradually decrease. Babies aged 2 to 5 months sleep approximately 15 to 18 hours, babies aged 6 to 12 months sleep approximately 14 to 16 hours, and babies aged 1 to 3 years sleep approximately 10 to 12 hours.

2. However, due to individual differences, different babies have different sleep times. It is necessary to ensure that they get enough sleep, which is the golden sleep for babies. Studies have shown that babies who wear dry diapers to sleep every night can enjoy an average of 37 minutes more golden sleep every night than babies who wear cloth diapers.

It is very easy for babies to sleep when they are just born. They have no worries and feel sleepy when they are full. This is normal and mothers don’t need to worry too much. However, they should still try to entertain the baby during the day to prevent the baby from not sleeping at night.
