Patient's question:
Expert, my baby is now three months old and sleeps less than three hours during the day and wakes up once at night, crying and fussing. Recently, she has also had some diarrhea. I want to ask what the cause is.Doctor's answer:
The reasons and countermeasures for babies not sleeping soundly and cryingLack of trace elements, reduced blood calcium leads to increased excitability of the brain and vegetative nervous system, causing babies to be restless at night. They need to digest calcium and vitamin D. Too hot or too cold, indigestion, stomach problems, or eating too much before bed can also lead to restless deep sleep. It is recommended to feed solid foods like porridge or noodles at least two to three hours before bedtime, and then have a little milk before sleeping.
When babies cry, don’t respond immediately. Wait a few minutes first, because most children who wake up at night will naturally fall back asleep within a few minutes.
