Patient's question:
The baby is 40 days old. They started sleeping deeply well, but recently, for some reason, they barely nap during the day and always cry loudly. They also don't sleep peacefully at night, often squirming. They have recently taken probiotics and two types of children's supplements, which have now been stopped. It's unclear if this is related.Previous treatment and effectiveness: No specific treatments were mentioned.
Help needed: Want to know why the baby is sleeping poorly and if there could be any issues.
Doctor's answer:
Infant sleep is not peaceful, apart from being a manifestation of neurodevelopmental growth during specific periods, another reason is that some parents did not establish good sleep routines for their babies in the early stages. Additionally, if the baby is exposed to too much stimulation before bed, it can affect deep sleep. Furthermore, since babies in this stage grow rapidly, their demand for nutrients is high, and inadequate digestion can lead to malnutrition such as calcium deficiency. At this time, besides crying, the baby may also experience night sweats and bald spots on the head, all of which may reappear.
