What is the situation when babies easily wake up at night and don't sleep?

Patient's question:

Baby, breastfeeding, now has started to add enhanced rice porridge, also taking calcium supplements. About 2 months ago, moved from hometown Fujian to Shanghai, is it not adapted? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Did not see a doctor, what kind of assistance is needed: How can the child sleep well?

Doctor's answer:

Your situation is that your baby wakes up after sleeping soundly at night, and doesn't sleep peacefully! This is a very common scenario! In fact, many babies struggle to fall asleep during the first few months. Some cry before taking a nap, some need to be held to fall asleep, some insist on being carried around to doze off, and some can be very demanding—there are all kinds of cases. Don't worry!
Recommendation: If holding or carrying the baby for a short while helps them fall asleep, it can be exhausting for the adults, and it may cause concern! The best approach with these children is to let them get a bit tired before putting them to sleep. It's important to let them play outdoors in a well-ventilated area during the day, and bath time should definitely be done right before bedtime. If they are put to bed too early, and the time until sleep is too long, it will be harder for them to fall asleep.
