Patient's question:
My baby will only be one month old tomorrow. In these past two days, he doesn't like to sleep. When he does sleep, he easily wakes up just a few minutes after falling asleep. His sleep has reduced significantly, and he can no longer sleep for 2 or 3 hours like before. Moreover, he cries and fusses intensely after waking up!Doctor's answer:
What should I do if the baby doesn't like to sleep? Since there's nothing else, it might be that the baby wants to be held. Infant sleep is different, not every baby snorts during the day. You can try not to hold him, or the child hasn't finished growing yet. If he wakes up during the day, let him play by himself. Don't hold him. Adults shouldn't intervene too much to prevent fatigue. Infant sleep time is short, unlike older children who wake up at dawn. Babies usually only sleep for 1 to 2 hours at a time, and every baby is different. Maybe your baby isn't worried about you, since there's nothing else, it might be that the baby wants to be held by you.
