Why does a child cry for a while while sleeping?

Patient's question:

Hello, doctor, why does my child cry for a while while sleeping? Is there any way to improve it?

Doctor's answer:

If the baby has no other discomfort, a large part of the reason for waking up at night is habitual. If he is woken up every time by being called or given food, a vicious cycle will occur. It is recommended that when the baby wakes up at night (feeling confused), do not pick him up immediately, nor should you entertain him. Instead, pat him immediately and try to soothe him to sleep. Generally, if the baby is in a state of confusion, he will gradually fall asleep.
