Patient's question:
A 60-day-old baby cries for feeding every night, and as soon as they are fed, they start crying again. What could be the reason, and what should be done? Went to the hospital, got some medicine, but after taking it, they still cry. There's no solution anymore.Doctor's answer:
Night crying is common in colic, referring to well-nourished and healthy infants who start crying from the third week of life and continue to do so until 4-6 months after birth. This phenomenon includes regular and irregular episodes of crying, bloating, and excessive gas, which occur because the gastrointestinal function is not yet fully developed. Most cases will improve after 4-6 months. For children with more severe recurrence, medication can be used. Oral simethicone can help regulate intestinal movement. During recurrence, making the child's abdomen tighter can provide compression, which actually makes them feel much more comfortable.
