Patient's question:
How to deal with a baby who sleeps during the day and often wakes up at night, crying non-stopDoctor's answer:
The little one sleeps soundly during the day and stays awake at night, which is what people often call "sleeping in reverse." When dealing with such a baby, the mother should first avoid getting anxious. In the morning or afternoon, try to keep the baby awake and minimize napping. During the day, the room should be as bright as possible, and there should always be pleasant or soft music playing. When the baby wakes up, make sure to engage him in play for as long as possible to extend the time he stays awake and excited. Around 8 p.m., give the baby a warm bath, then feed him and change his diaper. At this point, the baby may feel extremely tired and will likely fall asleep very quickly. If this routine is followed consistently every day, the baby's habit of "sleeping in reverse" will gradually be corrected.
