Question
My newborn is 16 days old and has been particularly fussy at night for the past two days, even after eating. The diaper is clean, the belly is not hard, and they calm down when held, but they still cry occasionally. What could be the reason for this?
Answer
If the baby’s diet, sleep, and elimination are normal and their mental state is good, this situation is usually not something to worry about and should improve over time. However, if the baby is truly uncomfortable, they may cry and fuss even when held.
