Is it normal for a newborn to sleep all the time?

It is possible that a newborn sleeping all the time is not normal.
Although it is true that newborns spend most of their time sleeping. But newborn babies also need to eat, and usually newborn babies need to eat about once every 2~3 hours.
Although babies sleep most of the time, if they eat every 2~3 hours, then it is normal.
If the baby sleeps for a long time without eating, then consider that there may be an abnormality.
For example, if the newborn has been deprived of oxygen for a long time in the uterus or has cerebral palsy due to birth injury during delivery; if the newborn has hypoglycemia due to various reasons, etc., all of them will lead to a long period of time for the newborn to sleep and not to eat.
Therefore, if a newborn baby is sleeping all the time, it is possible that it is not normal. Parents are advised to pay attention to their children’s mental and eating conditions, and if any abnormality occurs, they must bring their children to the hospital as soon as possible.
