Question
A newborn of 5 days old falls asleep after just a few sips of milk, wakes up crying (about 30 minutes later), and then falls asleep again after a few more sips, only to wake up and cry again. Both the baby and the caregiver are unable to rest. What should we do?
Answer
A newborn of 5 days old showing such behavior is unlikely to be related to specific inflammation and is more likely due to improper care rather than other factors. I believe that the child’s condition is not severe and requires scientific care, including cleaning the baby’s diapers, scientific feeding, preventing cold, and keeping warm. It’s also important to avoid wrapping the baby too tightly, as these behaviors should gradually return to normal.
