Question

My baby is 27 days old and starts crying as soon as I put them on the bed. Their legs kick and seem to feel uncomfortable. The situation is more frequent at night and they have difficulty falling asleep. Sometimes they fall asleep in my arms but wake up and start crying as soon as I put them back down on the bed. They only get a few hours of sleep at most each night.

Answer

This is not a pathological reaction; if the baby is sick, they would cry in your arms too. I suggest this is due to a lack of security, which should improve over time. If you still feel uneasy, you can take them to a pediatrician for a check-up. Additionally, check the bed for any foreign objects that might be poking or hurting the baby, and find out the cause so that the baby can feel comfortable and stop crying.
