Question

Hello, I would like to ask why my baby has been sleeping very lightly lately and keeps waking up?

Answer

I’m glad to help you with that. If your child is crying or restless, it’s important to find out the cause. Please observe if there is any redness or swelling around the anal area, and if there are any signs of halitosis or drooling. Possible causes may include oral infections such as thrush or stomatitis. Sometimes parasites can also cause similar symptoms. If there are no such symptoms, it may be due to a calcium deficiency. A calcium deficiency can lead to the baby waking up suddenly. You can hold your baby and expose them to sunlight for some time.
