Question
What can be done when the baby cries as soon as they wake up at night?
Answer
Based on the parent’s description, the baby’s crying upon waking up at night may be due to hunger, gastrointestinal discomfort, oral problems, or other physical discomforts. Additionally, dreaming or changes in sleep patterns may also cause this. It is recommended that parents observe if the baby has other symptoms such as dry mouth, cold symptoms, oral ulcers, or calcium deficiency, and check for any abnormalities under the armpit skin. If the baby can fall asleep again after being patted, it may be due to insufficient breast milk leading to poor sleep quality. After identifying the cause, targeted treatment can be administered.
