Question

For nearly a month now, the baby has been experiencing restless sleep and frequent waking, basically once every hour. The appetite is not good either. Stools are normal. The trace elements are not deficient, blood count is not high, and the baby’s daytime mood is fine. I’m wondering how to handle this situation and whether other checks are needed.

Answer

The possible reasons for the baby’s restless sleep and crying could be a lack of trace elements, overheating or undercooling, indigestion, or other factors. Solutions include supplementing with calcium and vitamin D, avoiding overeating at night, and allowing the baby to fall asleep naturally.
