How much sleep is normal for a 44-day-old baby?

Parents will find that a 44-day-old baby, that is, just out of the confinement period, sleeps for a very long time every day. Many young parents, due to lack of experience, will think that their children sleep too long and even worry about their children's health problems. In fact, the longer the baby sleeps at this time, the better. On the contrary, if the baby often does not sleep well, there will be many harms. So how long should the baby sleep every day at this time?

44-day-old baby sleep time:

Children of this age may need about 16-20 hours of sleep. Long sleep time is normal. As long as they can wake up naturally, it is not pathological. At the same time, small children also need to ensure normal feeding. If the child continues to sleep for too long, for example, more than six hours, you can wake him up appropriately to feed him.

Then the baby sleeps for a very short time and is easily awakened while sleeping. The total sleep time a day is less than ten hours, sometimes only about eight hours. I think poor sleep is also one of the important reasons that hinder growth and development. I feed twice at night, once every three hours. May I ask all the mothers, what kind of examinations should be done or how can the feeding method be improved?

Generally, a one-month-old newborn baby sleeps 20-22 hours a day, and basically sleeps all the time except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating; a baby of 1-2 months old sleeps about 18 hours a day and can play with his parents for a while; a baby of 3 months old generally sleeps about 16 hours a day, and has more time to communicate with his parents, and can turn over, turn his head, and kick the quilt; after six months old, babies usually sleep 12-14 hours, and then slowly decrease.

Newborns need an average of 16 hours of sleep a day (14 to 20 hours). Each sleep cycle is about 45 minutes. They wake up every 2 to 4 hours to feed and keep their eyes open for a few minutes to an hour. Circadian rhythms have not yet been established.

Sleepiness is mainly due to spleen deficiency and heavy dampness in patients. Impatience is related to excessive liver fire. You can take some Danzhi Xiaoyao Pills and Buzhong Yiqi Pills appropriately, which mainly help to soothe the liver and clear away heat, strengthen the spleen and replenish qi. It is advisable to eat light food on a daily basis, and you can often perform moxibustion on the Guanyuan acupoint.

Symptoms such as restless sleep, short sleep time, trembling limbs, sweating, easy fright, easy waking up, shaking head, irritability, crying, baldness on the back of the head, ring-shaped hair loss, and delayed growth and development in infants and young children are all signs of vitamin D deficiency.

Suggestions: It is recommended to do appropriate outdoor activities every day, get more sun exposure, and test blood calcium and alkaline phosphatase when necessary. At the same time, actively supplementing your baby with vitamin D and calcium will improve the symptoms. It is better to take the medication under the guidance of a doctor.
