Patient's question:
My baby is now 27 days old. Whenever I put him in the crib, he starts crying and kicking his legs, as if he's very uncomfortable. This phenomenon is even worse at night, and he always has trouble falling asleep. Sometimes he falls asleep in my arms, but as soon as I put him down, he starts crying again. Currently, he can only take a short nap of three or four hours at night.Doctor's answer:
In this case, the newborn's behavior does not resemble a pathological condition. If the baby were sick, it would cry even when being held.Advice: This situation is caused by a lack of security, and it will gradually improve. If you still feel concerned, it's best to have the baby checked by a pediatrician. Additionally, check the bed to see if there's anything pressing or irritating the child. As long as the cause is identified and the baby feels comfortable, the crying will stop.
