What should I do if the baby wants to be held while sleeping?

Patient's question:

Since having the baby, I've never had a good night's sleep. I keep waking up at night, and I don't know how many times I wake up in one night. Moreover, when I wake up, I have to pick them up and hold them until they fall asleep in my arms, and then put them down again. Is it that all babies need to be held to sleep? Are all babies like this? What should I do if the baby always needs to be held to sleep?

Doctor's answer:

The baby always needs to be held to sleep First, you need to confirm whether the baby's nutritional status is good, whether the body is healthy, and whether the weight is increasing as expected. Diseases, pain, or delayed growth and development can all affect his deep sleep. The baby needs a sense of security when sleeping. There are many ways to help him. If he falls asleep after eating, move the nipple or bottle away after he finishes eating, hold him in your arms, swaddle him, and then put him back to bed.
