Question
What’s causing my 3-month-old baby to keep crying and refuse breastfeeding?
Answer
If your 3-month-old baby is constantly crying and refusing to breastfeed at night, it may be due to intestinal colic. Intestinal colic is a type of intermittent abdominal pain, primarily characterized by intense contractions of the intestinal smooth muscle. It is essential to rule out other causes and receive treatment to address the issue causing the colic. Medication should be administered according to the doctor’s prescription, including antispasmodics that directly act on the smooth muscle to relieve spasms.
