Question
Baby, female, nine months old, weaned four days ago, always cries at 3 AM in the middle of the night. She doesn’t drink water or breastmilk. Elders say it might be stomachache, but we’re not sure.
Answer
Babies often cry at night, with the most common reasons being wet diapers or being too hot or too cold, making them uncomfortable. Additionally, observe the baby’s bowel sounds. Children with pinworms may have the worms crawling to the anus at night, causing skin itching and leading to constant crying. If a baby is deficient in calcium, they may also cry at night. It’s recommended to check with a hospital.
