Patient's question:
Why does the baby start crying at the fixed time every night? Our baby starts crying and refuses to take a nap at 5 o'clock every evening. Even after being fed, he doesn't sleep, and this happens every day. What could be the reason?What kind of help is needed: We hope the doctor can provide a clear explanation. Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
The reasons and countermeasures for babies not sleeping soundly and crying 1. Lack of trace elements, reduced blood calcium leads to increased excitability of the brain and vegetative nervous system, causing babies to sleep restlessly at night. They need to digest calcium and vitamin D. Too hot or too cold, indigestion, poor digestion, stomachache, or eating too much before bed can also cause deep sleep disturbances. It is recommended to feed solid foods like porridge or noodles at least two or three hours before bedtime, and then have a little milk before sleeping. When babies cry, don't respond immediately. Wait a few minutes, because most children who wake up at night will naturally fall back asleep within a few minutes!
