Question
Why does a newborn baby cry while breastfeeding?
Answer
A newborn’s restless sleep and crying may be caused by an increase in brain and autonomic nervous system excitability due to a deficiency of trace elements, or due to unsuitable temperature, overeating, indigestion, or eating too much at night. In this case, consider using large doses of Astragalus decoction to tonify Qi, strengthen the exterior, and stop sweating, or adding floating wheat to enhance the antipyretic effect.
