Seven-month-old baby always cries a lot at night when sleeping, and gets better when picked up. How to solve this?

Patient's question:

At night, a seven-month-old baby always cries loudly. If they are picked up, they calm down a bit, but when put back down, they start crying as if startled. What is going on? It has been happening for a week. During naps, the baby doesn't sleep soundly and always cries, with their eyes still open.

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to explain this to you. There are many reasons why babies cry: underdeveloped nervous system and physical growth, hunger, indigestion, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Swelling of the external genitalia and anus. Excessively high or dry indoor temperature. Low indoor temperature and cold exposure. All of these can cause crying. It is recommended to treat the symptoms according to the cause, proper breastfeeding, and feeding on demand. Burp correctly after changing diapers. Bathe frequently. Maintain a suitable indoor temperature and humidity. Gradually, it will improve.
