Question
Our four-year-old baby has been experiencing restless sleep for the past three weeks, often appearing uncomfortable and sometimes violently twisting as if straining to defecate. Even after burping after breastfeeding, the baby still vomits. When feeding, the stomach makes gurgling sounds. The stools are golden yellow with occasional greenish tinge and bubbles, occurring three to four times a day, and occasionally up to four or five times within five minutes. Is this normal? Is it normal for the baby to twist and be restless during sleep and to vomit? Is there any discomfort? How should we handle this situation?
Answer
Based on your description, it is recommended to give your baby a warm bath and massage before bedtime to help them relax. To create a quiet sleep environment, pull the curtains at night and during the day before bedtime. You can play soft music and dim the lights before bedtime, which can help the baby fall into deep sleep. Avoid overexcitement before bedtime to prevent affecting sleep. Ensure your baby gets enough vitamin D and sun exposure daily, and consider calcium supplements if needed.
