Question
Why does a 5-month-old baby recently start crying when waking up at night?
Answer
There can be several reasons why a 5-month-old baby wakes up crying at night. Firstly, the baby might be restless due to emotional stimulation. Secondly, a deficiency in trace elements such as iron and zinc can also lead to poor sleep quality. Additionally, the sleep environment is crucial; it should be quiet and comfortable, avoiding excessive heat or cold. If the baby is physically uncomfortable, such as experiencing diarrhea or bloating, it may also affect sleep. It is recommended that parents carefully observe the baby’s condition. If the problem persists, it’s advisable to take the baby to the hospital for a detailed check-up to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
