Question
My baby is 54 days old, and since last night, they haven’t slept a full night. I’m doing mixed feeding, and the milk isn’t good. Lately, they’ve been crying when touching the nipple, but starting yesterday afternoon, they won’t take a single bite. I’ve tried giving them formula milk, and they always want more. They only sleep for a few minutes at night, constantly scratching their face, and their two tiny hands are flailing back and forth. It seems like they’re very tired but can’t sleep soundly. This morning, they only fell asleep when held. What’s going on? I’m desperate.
Answer
This situation might be due to indigestion, abdominal discomfort, or a lack of calcium leading to poor quality deep sleep. I suggest you let your baby drink plenty of water, feed them milk in small amounts multiple times, pay attention to abdominal warmth, and get them to spend more time in the sun. Observe carefully and consider visiting a hospital for a check-up if necessary.
