Question
My child has been crying a lot lately and doesn’t eat much. Why might a three-month-old baby have these symptoms?
Answer
The characteristics of three-month-old babies typically include: a small head that moves little, most of the time with hands open, able to grasp objects but not yet reaching out to grab them, and frequently waving their arms and legs. These features may cause discomfort or unease in the baby, leading to constant crying and loss of appetite. Additionally, the baby may feel hungry or need more attention and comfort due to growth needs. Parents can try using professional methods to help relieve the baby’s discomfort, such as adjusting feeding methods, increasing soothing and interaction, to promote the baby’s growth and development.
