Okay, what kind of suppository was it?  What did you give him it for??  That's really the question.  If you gave him medication under doctor's orders and the side effect is that he is sleepy, that's one thing.  If he is unusually sleepy where you can't wake him up, then that is a little concerning.  But even when it is 5 am, you can call a doctor.  They are on call 24/7.  You can call a pediatrician at 1 am.  I've done it.  They are the ones that refer you to emergency and the deal is that a pediatrician usually shares on call hours with another doctor so that they will be able to handle calls at any hours.  They may be on call for 24 hours and then off so they rest.

But if your baby is just fallen asleep after being sick or because it is usually a time where the baby sleeps, that's one thing.  But if you are alarmed, having trouble rousing the baby, or something seems off . . .   then double check.  good luck

Hi there.  Not sure what you are talking about.  YOU took the suppository and you think your baby in utero fell asleep from it?  It would be hard to tell if your baby went to sleep for real, ya know?  What kind of suppository are you talking about?  

Your not talking about a baby that's already born are you?
