Question
My daughter was born 26 days ago, and for the past few nights she has been extremely restless, crying every 2 hours or even shorter. This has caused a lot of worry for both my wife and me. However, for the past two nights, she has been very well-behaved, sleeping after eating (every 3 hours), but now if she’s hungry and we don’t feed her in time, she cries frantically. Everything else is fine. I’m worried about her night crying as well. Now that she’s so well-behaved, I’m worried again. Haha… What kind of help do you think is needed?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby’s night crying may be caused by indigestion or calcium deficiency, among other reasons. In such cases, it is also important to pay attention to other abnormal symptoms such as abdominal pain or fever. It is recommended to first maintain a stable mood, get adequate rest, avoid spicy foods, monitor your baby’s temperature changes in a timely manner, and provide medication as needed. If the situation does not improve, it is suggested that you take your baby to a regular pediatric department of a hospital for examination, such as routine blood tests and trace element tests, in order to develop an appropriate treatment plan. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery.
