Question

A 30-day-old baby often struggles to sleep soundly during naps, frequently makes noises, and has difficulty sleeping. They often vomit while sleeping. Sleeping horizontally is even more unstable, but being held can slightly improve the situation.

Answer

If a one-month-old baby is restless while sleeping, makes noises, and forcefully vomits, has trouble sleeping on their side, but feels slightly better when held, it may be due to overfeeding leading to indigestion and poor digestion. At this point, probiotics can be given to aid digestion, regulate intestinal function, and shorten the interval between feedings. Drink more water between feedings. Do not force the baby to breastfeed; feed on demand. Over a few days, the absorption function will gradually return to normal. Additionally, ensure the baby receives cod liver oil (Vitamin A and D), and expose them to sunlight more often. This can help improve sleep and prevent rickets.
