Question
My baby is restless during the day, often grunting and fidgeting. But when placed in bed, they can still sleep for a while. However, at night, they don’t nap at all. It’s a struggle to get them to sleep, and as soon as they are placed on the bed, they wake up within two minutes. They fall asleep again, only to suddenly cry out.
Answer
Based on your description, your baby’s symptoms may be caused by a deficiency in trace elements (such as calcium or zinc), excessively hot or cold environmental conditions, indigestion due to overeating, or other reasons. It is recommended that you maintain a quiet environment around your baby, and when they cry, do not react immediately. Wait a few minutes, as most babies will naturally fall back asleep after a few minutes of waking up at night.
