Question
Why do babies frequently cry when they sleep at night?
Answer
There are several possible reasons for a baby’s restlessness and frequent crying during sleep, including a deficiency of trace elements, overheating or undercooling, indigestion due to overeating, or overfeeding at night. It is recommended to feed the baby with porridge or noodles as solid food at least two to three hours before bedtime, followed by a little milk, to avoid overfeeding. When the baby cries, it is not advisable to react immediately; instead, wait a few minutes, as most babies will naturally fall asleep a few minutes after waking up at night.
