Question
Why do newborns sometimes suddenly cry after falling asleep?
Answer
Newborns may suddenly cry in their sleep due to discomfort or unease. First, parents should check if the baby is feeling too cold or too hot, hungry, or in need of a diaper change, as well as whether they have had a bowel movement or urination, are tired, or afraid. If these basic needs are met and the baby still cries, it may be due to a lack of security or a scare. In rare cases, this behavior may be caused by other health issues such as gastroesophageal reflux or intestinal colic. If this situation persists, it is advisable to consult a doctor to rule out any potential health problems.
