A baby who is only a few days old is crying while eating breast milk. What could be the reason?

Patient's question:

What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Why does a newborn baby who is only a few days old cry while breastfeeding?

Doctor's answer:

The reasons why babies don't sleep soundly and cry include:
1. Lack of trace elements, leading to decreased blood calcium, which increases the excitability of the brain and vegetative nervous system, causing restless sleep at night.
2. Too hot or too cold temperature.
3. Accumulated food, poor digestion, heatiness, or overeating at night can also cause sleep disturbances.
In your case, it may be qi deficiency with spontaneous sweating, weak surface defense, and continuous sweating. You can take a large dose of Astragalus root decoction to invigorate qi and strengthen the surface to stop sweating. Adding floating wheat can also enhance the effect of stopping sweating.
