Question
A two-month-old baby who is on mixed feeding doesn’t sleep for half a day after drinking formula. Is this normal? Is it a sign of illness?
Answer
- Wrap the baby tightly in a blanket or a sheet, and tuck the little arms in as well, making the baby feel like they are still in the womb. This will help them feel more secure.
- Rock the baby gently in an armchair, as this is a method from books; I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve used my arm to rock my baby to sleep, and she falls asleep quickly. This situation is normal. Infancy is the fastest-growing stage in a person’s life, and during this period, a child’s food intake increases with age.
