Question
My baby is 23 days old, and since around day 19, whether it’s at night or during the day, he will suddenly cry out loudly twice while sleeping and then continue to sleep. Sometimes it’s because he needs to pee, and sometimes nothing at all. Sometimes this happens quite frequently. Is there something wrong with him?
Answer
This is a normal phenomenon. All babies do this. Sometimes they cry, sometimes they laugh, just like they’re dreaming. This doesn’t mean your little one has a problem; instead, it indicates that he is healthy. If you still feel uneasy, you can take him for a check-up to confirm. Crying is beneficial for lung development, and babies who cry a lot tend to have higher lung capacity. My baby used to cry and laugh frequently when he was little, and now he is growing up with a perfectly healthy body and no abnormalities. So you can rest assured.
