Question
The baby cries loudly at night, especially after 9 PM. They need to be fed milk continuously to calm down, and as soon as the milk stops, they start flailing their arms and legs, crying non-stop for several hours. When the baby is in deep sleep at night, they experience intermittent crying, which is known as night crying.
Answer
Children do not cry for no reason; if they continue to cry, it’s a sign that they are uncomfortable. Night crying not only affects the child’s sleep and growth development but also disturbs the parents’ rest. Therefore, addressing a baby’s night crying is crucial. There are many reasons for night crying, and it is very helpful to take the child to the hospital for a check-up to find the cause and administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication promptly.
