Hello doctor,
My newborn baby is sleeping the whole day. He sleeps more than 18 hours. Is this normal?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is an absolutely normal behavior of a newborn. They may sleep even twenty to twenty-two hours per day. Nothing to worry. As the baby grows, the duration of sleep decreases accordingly. So, keep your baby warm and feed every second hourly.
Thank you and have a nice day.
Hi doctor,
Thank you for replying. What does keeping the baby warm mean?
