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. Already at a loss.Doctor's answer:
Crying at night is common in colic, referring to well-nourished and healthy infants who start crying from 3 weeks old and continue until 4-6 months after birth. This phenomenon includes regular and irregular crying, bloating, and excessive gas, which is due to the immature development of gastrointestinal function. 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 much more comfortable.
