What are the reasons why a baby under one month old doesn't sleep well?

Patient's question:

Please ask the expert: Sometimes, after eating milk, the child sleeps very soundly, but at other times, during sleep, they rub their face with their small hands, turn red, and make sounds like "ah-ah" or clearing their throat like an adult. They don't sleep soundly, and it's not related to a wet diaper. At about 20 days old, they basically couldn't sleep for long periods. They would wake up after sleeping for half an hour, especially when they were 27 days old. They slept for 2 hours during the day but less than 6 hours at night. The next day, they slept very soundly during the day. I give them Eke Xin, which is Vitamin A and D drops, to promote calcium absorption. But sometimes, during sleep, their small hands suddenly raise above their head, as if they were startled.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the baby is growing up slowly, and the need for breast milk is also increasing. The baby's mother needs to check if the breast milk is enough for the baby to eat. When the baby is not well-fed, it is easy to show these symptoms. My baby was like this at that time. The child was affected by neonatal diseases, so the family must take the child to the hospital for timely medical treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. It is necessary to treat the symptoms in a timely manner. For parents, it is important to observe the changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely medical treatment for the disease.
