Patient's question:
My baby is 25 days old now. He eats and then sleeps, but he starts crying suddenly. Then, if I give him some water (because he looks very uncomfortable), he falls asleep again, and this cycle repeats. I see that other people's babies just sleep after eating and only wake up when they are hungry. Should I check my baby? He only has a bowel movement every two days. Is it possible that he is not having normal bowel movements, which is causing his discomfort?Doctor's answer:
If the child doesn't sleep well, it could be due to physical discomfort, or it might also be a lack of calcium or some other trace elements. You should take the child to the hospital for a check-up.
