Patient's question:
My baby is 1 year and 5 and a half months old. Almost every night, he wakes up crying and fussing two or three times. Sometimes, he wakes up and cries five or six times in one night. I want to know what might be causing this. Thank you~~Doctor's answer:
1 to 3-year-old babies are prone to this situation. The most common cause is colic, and excessive excitement before bedtime can also lead to nighttime crying. All of these conditions require the baby to be able to eat well. At one year old, the baby should have already been introduced to complementary foods properly. Nighttime feeding should no longer be necessary, but this should be adjusted based on the baby's specific situation. It is important to get more sunlight and supplement with calcium, which can help improve the condition. If the symptoms do not improve, seek medical attention promptly.
