Patient's question:
Hello everyone, I would like to ask a few questions. My baby is now three months old, and his deep sleep hasn't stabilized yet. Especially at night, he can still sleep a bit when I hold him, but he wakes up as soon as I put him down? What is going on here? The teachers, what is the matter?Doctor's answer:
3-month-old babies generally have longer sleep times. It seems that your baby's deep sleep quality isn't very good, and they don't like being held to sleep. When being held to sleep, the child might feel safer, but it is generally not recommended to hold the child to sleep during naps. This makes it harder for the child to lie down in bed and take a nap on their own. It's best to put the child to sleep in bed. When the child is crying, the mother can gently pat their body to make the child feel that their mother is around. Even more so, avoid swaying the child to sleep during naps, because the baby's brain development is still very fragile. Slight shaking can easily cause the child to have a mild concussion.
