A 50-day-old baby who has been sleeping suddenly started crying intensely. What's going on?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Infant and toddler sleep is cyclical, with each cycle lasting about 40-50 minutes. A cycle consists of light sleep → deep sleep → light sleep → deep sleep. During light sleep, the child may roll over, easily wake up, and may exhibit loud crying, moving back and forth in bed, or stretching and kicking. At this time, it is not that the child is truly awake. Do not pay too much attention to him; you only need to gently pat the child, help him change position, let him lie quietly, and after a while, he will return to deep sleep.
