Suggest Remedy For Infant With Hypotonia
My 1 month old was born with hypotonia and slept alot even for a newborn. Now she will wake to be fed most of the feedings but still has a time daily where she goes into a deep sleep and nothing will wake her. She sleeps 5-6 hours so she skips 1 feeding. Any idea what would make her so hard to awaken?

Hello. I just read through your question. The most important thing is the baby's weight. If she is gaining appropriate weight then sleeping for 5-6 hours is ok. There is no need to wake her if the weight gain is appropriate. I recommend consulting with your doctor to make sure her weight gain is normal so that she may be allowed to sleep.
