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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
