Question

The baby is usually fine during the day, but if crying for a while without attention, the voice becomes a very anxious, hoarse cry. At night, it’s mostly whining and trying to eat, with the baby’s mouth moving. Whether you pat her, shake the crib, or ignore her, it eventually develops into a hoarse cry. The only way to stop it is to feed her milk. Is this normal? If not, is it due to illness or excessive attachment to milk? If it’s attachment, how should I correct her night feeding habit?

Answer

Based on the case, this age group of children may be lacking in security. They should still be comforted appropriately when they cry during the day as they can now understand adults’ tones. Regarding night feeding, there are individual differences. You can try using water to soothe them; if that doesn’t work, then you should feed them when they eat.
