Question
A parent inquires about their baby, born on the 14th day, who suddenly wakes up crying after breastfeeding for a few minutes and this only occurs on that day, asking for possible causes.
Answer
According to the parent’s description, the baby may be experiencing stomach discomfort or calcium deficiency. It is advised not to over-worry and to strengthen feeding, maintain a comfortable room temperature, and keep the baby’s body temperature normal. Additionally, massage the baby’s abdomen in a clockwise direction to promote intestinal peristalsis. Moreover, probiotics can be administered to improve intestinal flora and aid digestion. Vitamin AD drops should be given to the baby daily to promote calcium absorption. If the situation does not improve, it is recommended that the parent bring the baby back for a check-up. Pay attention to the baby’s dietary conditions in everyday life.
