How to deal with a baby who doesn't sleep soundly

Patient's question:

The baby is two and a half months old. Since birth, it has never been wrapped in a "candle package" because it was thought that it would affect the baby's development and make it uncomfortable. However, the baby has never slept soundly, now sleeping in the arms during the day, and waking up as soon as it is put down.

Doctor's answer:

The reasons why babies don't sleep soundly and cry are mainly due to the following situations:
1. Lack of trace elements, reduced blood calcium leading to increased excitability of the brain and vegetative nervous system, causing babies to sleep restlessly at night. They need to digest calcium.
2. Too hot, too cold, indigestion, or poor digestion.
3. Stomach upset or eating too much at night can also lead to restless deep sleep.
Determine which one applies to your baby.
It is recommended not to immediately respond when the baby cries, but to wait a few minutes, as most children wake up at night and fall back asleep naturally within a few minutes.
Wishing your baby good health!
