Question
Why is my baby, who is only a few days away from his one-month birthday, not sleeping well these past two days? He easily wakes up after just a few minutes of sleep, and his sleep has decreased significantly compared to before. He can’t sleep for 2 to 3 hours continuously like he used to, and he cries and fusses a lot when he wakes up.
Answer
What should I do if my baby doesn’t like to sleep? If there are no other issues, it might be that the baby wants to be held. Babies have different sleep habits, and not every baby snores during the day. You can try not holding him, or he might still be unsatisfied. If he wakes up during the day, let him play on his own without holding him. Adults shouldn’t interfere too much to prevent fatigue. Babies usually only sleep for 1 to 2 hours at a time, and each baby is different. Maybe your baby isn’t worried about you; if there are no other issues, it might be that the baby wants your embrace.
