Patient's question:
Tianjin condition description: The baby started crying 6 hours after birth, trembled the jaw while crying, and sometimes had convulsions. No other abnormalities were found. Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been given yet. What kind of help is desired: Want to know if it is due to brain hypoxia.Doctor's answer:
Several possible reasons for a baby's restless sleep:1. Lack of trace elements: Low blood calcium can increase the excitability of the brain and vegetative nervous system, causing the baby to sleep restlessly at night. Calcium and vitamin D need to be supplemented. If calcium deficiency is present, the baby's fontanelles may not close properly. If zinc deficiency is present, the baby's lips may often develop sores.
2. Too hot or too cold.
3. Too dry, with nasal mucus.
4. Excessive excitement before sleep: One hour to 0.5 hours before the baby goes to sleep, they should be calmed down. Avoid playing too excitedly before bed, and do not overstimulate the baby. The room should have a comfortable temperature, be quiet, and have dim lighting. The bedding should be light, soft, and dry. The baby should be urinated before bed.
5. Check for pinworms around the anus.
6. Many mothers mistake a baby's nighttime crying for hunger and then feed them. However, this is a very bad habit. Doing so may instead create a habit of waking up at night to be fed.
7. Indigestion and poor digestion.
