[Tamagotchi M!x] My tamagotchi became ill while sleeping?

I've been playing my new M!x (Spacey Ver.) for a few days now and made it through the first generation just fine- I was able to hatch a new baby tamagotchi after my first was full grown and married.

It hatched, I immediately started caring for it to keep the hunger/happiness bars up. 8:00 PM hit and the baby went to sleep. I put it down and went to do some house stuff for a little bit when my partner brought it to show me that the baby tamagotchi was sick? It was in bed, but it aged to the next level (toddler) and it had the floating skull above it I wasn't able to access the medicine or any other options, I just kept receiving some kind of urgent message (something with an exclamation point at the end-probably telling me my tama was asleep? idk)

I couldn't find any information on this so I panicked and reset the time so I could wake the (now) toddler tamagotchi up and heal it/bump its bars back up. What the heck happened here? Are some just randomly prone to dying at any time?

They can't become ill while sleeping. Babies get ill very easily (they literally need constant care), so it probably grew up to the toddler stage while ill and immediately went to sleep. No need to ever panic, just remember to either pay attention to the baby more next time or just wake it up by changing the time and do as you did by healing it and feeding it, there's no real penalty to it.

That makes sense! I appreciate your reply! I'm learning as I go, I can't remember my last tamagotchi since this one

On every generation my M!x (also Spacey), the baby gets sick at least once. They also take a nap shortly after they hatch. I've run into this in multiple situations, where they take the nap, wake up, and get sick right away. Like Jhud said, not a big deal. Part of the whole M!x baby phase.
