Patient's question:
The baby is less than two months old and cries suddenly every night between 8 PM and 9 PM. The timing is quite regular, but the reason is unknown. The baby is not hungry, and the diaper is not dirty. I don't know what the cause is. Could you please help?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the condition of your baby is likely to be a case of evening anxiety. Based on the situation you described, many babies with evening anxiety become fussy and cry around dusk, and no matter how parents try to comfort them, they remain difficult to calm down. We call this condition the baby's "evening anxiety." It is a result of both physical and psychological disturbances. Due to the incomplete neurological development of the baby, they are unable to alleviate the stress brought by evening fatigue and exertion, leading to restlessness and continuous crying in the evening. For babies under one year old, this situation is quite normal.
