Patient's question:
Female baby breastfeeding and complementary feeding, recently not sleeping well during the day, waking up every time she falls asleep on the bed within less than ten minutes. The first half of the night is okay, but she wakes up frequently in the second half, needing to be fed with milk to fall back asleep. However, she wakes up again within less than an hour. This situation has been occurring intermittently since she was five months old.Past treatment history and effectiveness: Currently taking Ikarin.
What help is needed: What could be the cause of the baby's current condition?
Doctor's answer:
This situation may lead to the baby's insufficient sense of security. Advice: I am a psychological counselor. The baby's condition may be due to insufficient companionship from the mother. It's possible that the mother is not present when the baby is sleeping, and when the baby wakes up, they don't see the mother, which gives the baby a sense of abandonment. Suggestion: The period before the baby turns 3 is a critical time for building their sense of security. When the baby is sleeping, someone should be present to accompany them, and as soon as the baby wakes up, they should be attended to immediately. When holding the baby, try to ensure skin-to-skin contact to let the baby fully feel the love of the family. Wishing you happiness and joy!
