Question

How to handle a five-month-old baby’s crying before bedtime?

Answer

In fact, most babies will experience crying before bedtime at certain stages of growth. As they grow, their emotions change, but since they can’t express themselves in words, they can only express their unease through crying. Especially before bedtime, babies may feel tired but are not ready to fall asleep immediately. In such cases, parents can soothe the baby appropriately, accompany them, and help them gradually calm down and fall asleep. This situation may last until the baby is about one year old, so please parents be patient.
