Question
The nine-month-old baby has been crying at night frequently lately, waking up multiple times each night, and sometimes shows signs of vomiting while drinking formula. What could be the cause?
Answer
Nighttime crying in infants is a common phenomenon, usually physiological and often caused by non-pathological factors such as hunger, wet diapers, or tight clothing. In some cases, it may be a symptom of illness, such as abdominal pain or otitis media. If the baby exhibits other symptoms along with crying, it is advisable to consider the possibility of illness and consult a doctor promptly.
