Patient's question:
A baby who is just four weeks old has been having trouble sleeping since the third week. They often seem uncomfortable, making noises, twisting intensely, as if straining to poop. After breastfeeding, even after burping and lying flat, they still vomit. Their stomach makes gurgling sounds when fed, and their poop is golden with occasional greenish streaks and bubbles. They have bowel movements three to four times a day (sometimes five in five minutes, which I count as one each time). What could be the reason? Is this normal? The community health center doctor checked them twice and said everything was fine. Is this twitching, poor sleep, and vomiting normal, or is there something wrong? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is recommended to give your child a bath and massage before bedtime to help them calm down. The deep sleep environment for your baby should be as quiet as possible, and curtains can be drawn before the 100th day of sleep. Soft music can be played before sleep, and the lights can be dimmed, which is also beneficial for your child's deep sleep. Avoid making your child too excited before sleep, as excessive excitement can also help with sleep. Get enough vitamin D and sun exposure daily, and supplement with calcium appropriately.
