Question
A 39-day-old baby cries every night, whimpers after drinking formula, and frequently wakes up when placed in bed. How can this be resolved?
Answer
Newborns may have unstable sleep and be prone to waking up, which could be caused by calcium deficiency or indigestion. It is suggested to feed on demand, dilute the formula with water appropriately during feeding, apply a cold compress to the baby’s abdomen before bedtime, and take vitamin AD drops daily. Keeping the room temperature at 21 degrees may help alleviate the baby’s night crying.
