Question
My baby is two months old, and lately, he has been fussing every night starting at midnight, only to fall asleep around 3 or 4 in the morning. He is very hungry, but he won’t eat the formula milk. What’s going on?
Answer
Based on your description, I suggest giving your child a bath and a massage before bedtime to help him calm down. Try to keep the baby’s sleeping environment as quiet as possible, and pull the curtains before he sleeps during the day. Playing soft music and dimming the lights before bedtime can also promote deep sleep. Avoid making your child too excited before bed, as an overly excited spirit is not conducive to falling asleep. Make sure to supplement vitamin D and get adequate sunlight exposure, and consider calcium supplementation. Are you currently bottle-feeding or mixed-feeding?
