Question
Why does a baby cry before going to sleep at night?
Answer
Newborns often experience sleep disturbances for several reasons:
- wet diapers or being swaddled too tightly, hunger, thirst, an uncomfortable room temperature, or too thick of bedding can all make a baby feel uncomfortable and cry.
- Changes in sleep patterns or environment can also cause discomfort.
- Insufficient calcium can lead to night terrors, night crying, and sleep disturbances in infants.
