Question
My child is seven months old, and lately, when I put him down to sleep for a nap, he cries soon after and wakes up. This happens repeatedly, and he doesn’t sleep much during the day either. He seems fine otherwise, but I’m not sure why he keeps waking up crying during naps.
Answer
Consult a Doctor Quickly: There can be many reasons why a baby has restless sleep. Commonly, it could be due to not being fed enough. You can try giving the baby some formula milk; if the baby falls asleep after drinking it, it might be because they’re hungry. You can also give the baby an abdominal massage; if the baby has gas, the massage can help relax them and they may fall asleep. Additionally, allowing the baby to take a semi-reclining position can increase their sense of security and help them sleep more soundly.
