Patient's question:
The baby hasn't been sleeping well since two months old. In the morning, they hardly sleep at all, and in the afternoon, it's difficult to fall asleep. Even when they are finally calmed down and put down, they wake up after sleeping for just a few minutes. Sometimes this happens at night too, and they don't sleep more than a few hours in a day. When they are tired, they tend to cry and prefer to be held upright. They have been taking fish oil and calcium, so they shouldn't be severely calcium-deficient, right? I've also suspected it might be colic, but when they don't sleep, they are very well-behaved, and everything else is fine—just the sleep is an issue.Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons why babies don't sleep well at night, which can be divided into two main categories:I. External Factors
1. Hunger
This is common in newborns and babies under three months old. Breastfeeding or feeding is needed to resolve this. If the child is affected by newborn diseases, the mother must take the child to the hospital for timely medical treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. It is important to treat the symptoms accordingly, and parents should closely observe the child's condition changes and do their best to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
