Question
A 37-day-old newborn cries continuously from around 9 PM every night until after midnight, refusing milk and their face turning bright red. What could be the cause?
Answer
Firstly, it is necessary to rule out any pathological factors, such as otitis media or intestinal colic. It could also be due to insufficient feeding. If the baby has frequent bowel movements or indigestion, consider using probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal tract. The mother should avoid eating cold foods and ensure the baby’s abdomen is kept warm. If the situation does not improve, it is recommended to consult a pediatrician for examination.
