What’s causing a one-month-old baby to always be startled?

Answer

Hello, a one-month-old baby may feel scared while sleeping, which is why they often wake up startled. This is a normal phenomenon and does not require treatment. You can take the following measures to help reduce the frequency of your baby’s waking up:

  1. Ensure your baby has enough calcium and vitamin D: Supplementing your baby with calcium and cod liver oil can improve their sleep quality. When the weather is good, it’s best to take your baby outdoors for some sun exposure.
  2. Use baby calming tea: You can give your baby some suitable Seven Star Tea for Babies to keep them calm during their next sleep cycle, thus avoiding startling them.
  3. Observe your baby’s reactions: If the above methods are ineffective, observe if your baby has other discomforts, such as abdominal bloating or fever. If these conditions are present, it is advisable to seek medical advice. I hope this information is helpful to you!
