Question
A 22-day-old baby is healthy in terms of weight, but has been having trouble sleeping lately and often coughs up milk after feeding. How should I handle this?
Answer
A 22-day-old baby drinking milk every four hours, sometimes even every two hours, is normal. Baby coughing up milk could be affected by factors such as catching a cold, not burping after feeding, or other reasons. The baby’s refusal to sleep might be due to not feeling completely full, cold weather, or poor sleep quality. It is recommended to keep the baby warm before bedtime, avoid letting the baby sleep alone, and this can improve the quality of sleep, especially during cold weather.
