Question
A 40-day-old baby is showing signs of a lack of security, with restless sleep during the day, frequent waking, and the ability to sleep for 2-3 hours in arms. The baby’s weight gain is slow. What methods can help improve this situation?
Answer
Based on the described situation, the baby is currently over 40 days old, and it is normal for infants at this age to have unstable sleep. Some babies may not settle into a stable sleep pattern until they are 1 year old. If the baby has previously had good naps but has recently started experiencing sleep problems, it is recommended to take them to a pediatrician for a check-up to rule out any discomfort. If there are no symptoms such as dry heaves or vomiting, and if weight gain is slow, it is important to carefully observe the baby.
