Patient's question:
The baby is 28 days old. Recently, they don't like to sleep at all. When awake, they can play for 7 to 8 hours. I've tried every method and even supplemented with calcium, but they still don't like to sleep and insist on being held to play. During the day, when placed in the crib, they won't sleep.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None
Desired help: Please help me see a doctor to find out what the reason is. I've heard that newborns are very good at sleeping, but my baby really doesn't like to sleep, and even when they do, they don't sleep soundly. What should I do?~
Doctor's answer:
This friend, don't hurry. Newborns generally experience recurring varying degrees of deep sleep abnormalities. This is mainly because the baby has just returned to a new environment and hasn't fully recovered yet, so this phenomenon may reappear. So, don't worry too much. You can try to wrap the baby with soft blankets or similar items to deliberately mimic the environment inside the womb. Then the baby will feel very comfortable. Additionally, the mother can gently pat the baby. This is the advice for the question "What should I do if the newborn really doesn't like to take naps?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
