Question
Why does an infant keep crying and cannot settle down for a nap?
Answer
If an infant at 45 days old still has jaundice and continues to cry during naps, it may suggest a respiratory infection. It could also be due to dyspepsia causing abdominal pain. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a detailed examination, including blood tests and a chest X-ray, to rule out pneumonia. If the baby’s stool is normal, abdominal pain is not a concern. Probiotics can be given to the infant to promote the establishment of a normal gut flora. Additionally, abdominal massage and ensuring the baby’s abdomen and feet are kept warm can be beneficial. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you health!
