Hi
Welcome to the HCM
If color and breathing are normal, and you don't sense a problem, let your child sleep . There's no need to keep a child awake.
Trust your instincts. If you aren't comfortable with your child's appearance, partly awaken your child by sitting him or her up. Your child should fuss a bit and attempt to resettle. If she still seems very drowsy, try to awaken your child fully. If your child can't be awakened or shows any signs of internal injury, call the doctor.
