Is It A Matter Of Concern If Baby Is Sleeping For A Prolonged Time After A Flight?
My 6 week old baby boy has been overly sleepy today. He's woken up just enough to eat a minimal amount and then goes right back to sleep. This is highly unusual for him. I'm hoping it is due to our recent airplane trip just yesterday. He has no other symptoms...should I be concerned?

Hi...it could be due to travel fatigue also. But at he same time fever and refusal of feeds are danger signs at this age. I suggest you keep checking his temperature every 4th hourly once and if it is more than 101F - approach your nearest pediatrician.
