Why do babies always wake up during sleep?

Patient's question:

Patient Age: A one-month-old baby, after being fed and falling asleep, will wake up crying after lying on the bed for a while.

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Hello. First, newborns remain in a shallow sleep state within the first half hour after falling asleep. Second, the baby's nervous system is not fully developed, making them easily startled! It is recommended to maintain a quiet sleep environment when the baby is sleeping!
Advice: It is advisable not to overexert the baby, as fatigue can easily lead to this situation. After the baby has just finished drinking milk, it is not recommended to lie them flat or put them to sleep immediately. Instead, gently pat the baby's back after feeding, wait until they burp or after a short period, before putting them to sleep. This is because the baby's stomach is in a horizontal position, making it prone to spitting up or putting pressure on the digestive system. The baby may also feel uncomfortable while sleeping. Additionally, it is recommended to supplement the baby with fish oil to promote calcium absorption, as calcium deficiency can also cause restlessness.
Furthermore, pay attention to the baby's bedding, clothing, etc. If the baby is uncomfortable, they may easily wake up. Wishing your baby good health~~~
