My baby doesn't like to sleep anymore

A newborn baby sleeps all the time in the first month because he thinks he is still in his mother's belly. As he grows up slowly, he comes into contact with the rest of the world. The strange world makes him feel insecure and curious. He cannot sleep well and is more likely to wake up when he is sleeping. Just open the windows frequently for ventilation or dim the light. Go to the hospital to check your baby's trace elements and supplement them in time if they are lacking.

During the first month of my baby's life, he kept waking up and crying while sleeping. He kept scratching his hands and was irritable. His sleep was very shallow and his eyes were always squinted when he slept. He felt uneasy and would wake up and cry at the slightest movement. The amount of breast milk he received was normal. I took labetalol hydrochloride during pregnancy for gestational hypertension. I don't know if it has any effect on the baby. I took Shark D3 when my baby was 2 weeks old.

It takes time for newborns and infants to adapt to an external environment that is different from the mother's womb, so it is quite common for them to always wake up in shock. Parents should create a comfortable environment for their babies. The room temperature should generally be maintained at 22-24℃ and the humidity at around 50%. Windows should be opened frequently to keep the indoor air fresh. Babies who are easily awakened can be wrapped appropriately to increase their sense of security, but the clothes and wrappings should not be too tight or thick. The home should be kept quiet when the newborn baby is sleeping, but not too quiet. The indoor light should be dimmed when the baby sleeps during the day. As your baby gradually adapts to the home environment and his or her nervous system develops, his or her sleep condition will gradually improve.

In addition, if you suffer from sleep disturbance, night terrors, and crying at night for a long time, you should consider whether you are calcium deficient. You should insist on supplementing with cod liver oil and calcium supplements, do more outdoor activities, and get more sun exposure to avoid calcium deficiency. If you suspect calcium deficiency, you need to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis. Babies may also cry during their sleep due to gastrointestinal disorders such as indigestion and intestinal cramps. You can try gently rubbing his abdomen to see if it can relieve the pain.

I always feel restless when I sleep. I am easily startled. I may be calcium deficient. Trace element test may be done. Corrective measures may be taken based on the results. Oral calcium supplements include calcium tablets (containing vitamin D3, which is beneficial for calcium absorption) + Amber Baolong Pills. I may get more sun and do more outdoor sports. If it is breast milk, the mother can eat more foods rich in calcium, such as dried shrimps, snails, snow mustard, milk, pork tibia cooked with vinegar, and soybeans.
