Patient's question:
A 28-day-old baby always startsle awake during naps, waking up at the slightest movement. They can only sleep when held. After falling asleep, they sometimes wake up with a scared expression as if they had a nightmare, and then start crying. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms your baby is experiencing are likely normal physiological phenomena, as the baby has just left the mother's womb and returned to an unfamiliar external world. Often, they cannot fully adapt to external sounds, light, and temperature changes, which can lead to feelings of tension and fear. These emotions are expressed through crying. As the baby gradually adjusts to the external environment, these symptoms will improve. You can appropriately supplement your child with calcium, take the baby outdoors frequently to get some sun, and enhance calcium absorption to promote healthy growth!
