Patient's question:
What is the reason why a six-month-old baby doesn't sleep well at night? During the day, they can sleep for about three hours, and around 8 PM, they usually take a nap. They eat once at midnight, and then they wake up again at around 3:30 AM. They don't cry or fuss, but when they wake up, they keep kicking the blanket and refuse to nap. It takes them about one to two hours of fussing before they finally fall asleep each time. I'm almost losing it. Why is this happening? Recently, they wake up like this every night and refuse to nap.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to serve you. Deep sleep in infancy is different from adult sleep. Babies get enough deep sleep after sleeping for a period of time and then wake up. As for your baby waking up at night without crying or fussing, you don't need to worry too much about it. This is because the baby is exploring the world and understanding the environment! Don't rush to put the baby to sleep. Let them play for a while, and they will sleep when they feel tired. As for kicking the blanket, check if the blanket is too thick or uncomfortable, among other reasons.
