Patient's question:
Baby has been 16 days old. Since the night before yesterday, they have been trying to take a nap but keep making noises, just like when they are about to poop. Sometimes they get so frustrated that their face turns red. Their hands and feet are kicking around. They just can't sleep peacefully during naps like this. It looks very painful. Everything else, like feeding, is normal. What could be going on?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the transition of the baby from the inside to the outside is an evolutionary process of the environment. Moreover, the baby's digestive system has just begun to develop its absorption function, and the digestive organs have not yet fully grown. Sometimes, severe abdominal and gastrointestinal pain may recur. The baby will feel uncomfortable, and this clinical manifestation may reappear. The above suggestions are for the question "The baby is 16 days old, and it has been making noises since last night while taking a nap." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
