Question
My baby is 2 months old, and today, while sleeping during the day, he suddenly woke up crying, his eyes wide open, his little face red, and his hands raised upwards. This happened several times without any apparent cause. What should I do?
Answer
Hello, please do not worry excessively. Based on the child’s age and the described symptoms, this could be a normal reaction to the new environment. In the womb, babies are accustomed to a quiet environment and do not react to external noises. After birth, sudden sounds may cause such behavior. Additionally, if your baby also sweats excessively at night and is easily awakened, it may be due to calcium deficiency in the body. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a trace element test to rule out this possibility.
