Question
The baby is over a month old, and he doesn’t sleep after 7 or 8 PM, crying instead (with feedings during the period). He only settles down and falls asleep after vomiting. Why is this happening, and what should I do?
Answer
Based on your description, it seems that the baby’s circadian rhythm may not have been adjusted properly. It is recommended to schedule feeding and napping 30 minutes before the baby’s usual nap time. Since the baby did not take a timely nap when supposed to sleep, this leads to crying at night, and swallowing too much air during feeding can cause vomiting, making him feel comfortable and fall asleep afterward. This is my suggestion for the question “What should I do if my one-month-old baby cries at night after not sleeping from 7 or 8 PM?” I hope this helps you; wishing you and your baby health!
