Question
My baby always sleeps while being held, and cries and doesn’t drink milk properly when I put them down. What should I do?
Answer
Based on your description, it’s possible that the child might have some digestion issues or a disrupted biological clock. Pay attention to dietary adjustments and avoid overfeeding. Too much milk can cause bloating and discomfort in the stomach, making the child uncomfortable as well. It’s best to slightly reduce the amount of milk for a few days to help restore gastrointestinal function and observe the situation before deciding further. If the baby wakes up as soon as you place them on the bed, wait until they are more asleep before doing so. Initially, they might wake up as soon as they are placed down, but with some training, the baby will prefer to sleep in bed. Crying is not harmful; a few cries are fine.
