All of these symptoms indicate that the infant is in deep sleep. This means that feeding is not necessary (unless the child begins to show signs of hunger). It also implies that he is unlikely to wake up easily, and that he may not need swaddling. Finally, this also implies that the infant is unlikely to wake up due to the usual house noises that are going on around him.
