Question
The baby is two months old, sleeps well during the daytime nap, but has not slept through the night since the previous evening. During the day, the baby sleeps well. It has now been two days since the baby has not defecated, and although probiotics have been tried, there has been no improvement. Ask about the reason why the baby won’t take a nap during the day and how to solve the sleep and defecation problems.
Answer
Based on the description, it is recommended to give the child a bath and a massage before bedtime to help relax them. The baby’s sleeping environment should be kept quiet, and curtains can be drawn during daytime naps. Soft music can be played and lights dimmed before bedtime to promote deeper sleep. Avoid overexciting the child before bedtime to prevent it from affecting sleep. Ensure an adequate intake of vitamin D and sun exposure, and consider supplementing with calcium. Additionally, continue to observe the baby’s defecation status and consult a pediatrician for professional advice if necessary.
