Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently, and also doesn't eat much. Why does the baby always want to nurse and sleep?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The baby only sleeps when eating milk. If you mean that the baby sleeps after being full from drinking milk, then it's not a big problem and you can continue. If you mean that the baby must sleep while holding the nipple, this is a bad habit that is not conducive to cultivating the child's independence. There is also a potential risk of suffocation if the breast presses against the baby's mouth and nose. It is best to correct this. You can let the baby suck on a pacifier to sleep independently in a small rocking crib, gradually forming a new habit. There will be an adjustment period at first, but as long as you persist, you will succeed.
