Question
Why has my baby been a bit loose recently, and why is he not sleeping well during the day and frequently waking up crying at night?
Answer
A baby’s restless sleep and frequent waking up at night may be due to calcium deficiency causing nervous system excitement, or because of overheat, overcool, indigestion, and other reasons. It is recommended to feed solid foods such as congee or noodles at least two to three hours before bedtime, and have a little milk before going to sleep. For night crying, wait a few minutes before responding, as many babies will naturally fall back asleep.
