Question
Our 1-year-and-5-month-old baby wakes up and cries twice to three times almost every night, sometimes even up to five or six times. What factors might cause this situation?
Answer
Children between 1 and 3 years old often experience nighttime awakenings, with the most common cause being colic. Additionally, overexcitement before bedtime can also lead to crying at night. Ensure that the baby’s diet is sufficient, as the complementary feeding for 1-year-old babies should be appropriately increased, and the amount of nighttime milk should be adjusted according to the baby’s actual needs. At the same time, getting plenty of sunlight and supplementing with calcium can help improve this condition. If the symptoms persist without improvement, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
