Patient's question:
The baby is four months old. Since birth, it has never slept through the night. Currently, it wakes up every two hours. After 3:00 AM, please help the doctor take a look at why it keeps waking up frequently. I'm worried that if it doesn't sleep well, it will affect its growth and development. Thank you, doctor.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is considered that these symptoms of the child are related to insufficient milk intake and abdominal discomfort. You should pay attention to keeping the child's abdomen warm, massaging the abdomen, and feeding the child once before bed. If the child's milk intake is insufficient, you can mix-feed. At four months, you can also provide complementary foods during the day. It is recommended to feed on demand, with breast milk as the foundation. If necessary, you can give the baby probiotics to regulate gastrointestinal function.
