Patient's question:
What could be the reason why a six-month-old baby doesn't sleep well at night? During the day, they can sleep for about three hours, usually around 8 PM, and then take a nap. Around midnight, they eat a bottle, but wake up again after 3:30 AM. They don't cry or fuss, but instead kick the blanket and refuse to sleep. It takes about one to two hours of fussing before they finally fall asleep. I'm almost losing it. Why is this happening? Recently, they've been waking up like this every night and refusing to nap.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to serve you. Deep sleep in infancy is different from adult sleep. Babies get enough deep sleep after sleeping for a period of time and then wake up. As for your baby waking up at night without crying or fussing, you don't need to worry too much about it. This is the baby exploring the world and understanding the environment! Don't rush to put the baby to sleep. Let them play for a while, and they will fall asleep when they feel tired. As for kicking the blanket, check if the blanket is too thick or uncomfortable, among other reasons.
