Question 1

why some babies at age 12 months don't sleep good and wake up crying  every 20 -30 minutes during the night , what problem can they have?

Accepted Answer

Many things: It could be a number of things. Teething, gas, environmental causes, or more serious things like intussusception. The baby should be checked to make sure his/her physical exam is normal.

Question 2

what do babies dream of that makes them cry while asleep?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: Since there is no way to research this area (babies don't converse or describe events) there is no way to know. Age regression hypnosis has been able to tap that information as far back as 2 yo, when kids worry more about abandonment or getting lost than anything. Younger kids ? No one knows.

Question 3

my 2 month old baby doesnot sleep till 5 am in the night.is it normal or need to worry?she does not cry but looks everywhere.how can we make her sleep

Accepted Answer

Sleep in a 2 mos old: Try to keep her  awake  during the day, avoid late afternoon naps. It is not easy but hope _fully she she sleeps through the night for you. Good luck

Question 4

is it normal for 1 mo baby to wake up and crying almost every 2-3 hours ? what is the sign that a baby have lack of sleep ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, normal: That is how often 1 month olds want to eat and be cared for. They eat small amounts frequently to maintain their blood sugars and hydration because they are so small and don't have lots of reserves for doing those things. It will likely get better over the next few months, but for right now it is totally normally to wake every couple of hours.

Question 5

my baby is going to be a month on sunday. last night he was grunting and crying like he normally does when he passes stools but was only passing wind.   he didn't get much sleep and even though he passed stools he doesn't seem his normal self?

Accepted Answer

Not unusual: Whether pushing out poop or gas an infant that age may fuss during the process. Their belly muscles are soft/flabby/weak are supplemented by fusing to push. I would not assume this means anything bad.

Question 6

my 7 month old baby sweats a lot when eating, crying, or sleeping.  otherwise, he seems all normal.?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Some babies and older children sweat more than others so this is not unusual. Nothing needs to be done. If you are concerned talk with your pediatrician.

Question 7

5 days ago my baby of 3 months have had a lot of wind in the early morning hours (farts) he is not crying but very uncomfortable when sleep, he is a breast baby but i haven't done anything different ,everything is normal (nappy), what can cause this?

Accepted Answer

Basics: The gas a baby makes comes from air they swallow during feeds. To this basic amount is added gas made by normal gut bacteria as it digests left over feeding debris. The amount will vary with air swallowing &amp; germ activity. Germ activity can vary &amp; sometimes probiotics can alter the germ pattern to lessen this effect.

Question 8

are the effects of cortisol cumulative? my 11-month-old baby cried for 30 mins. last night. i want to be sure she is going to be ok. i don't normally let her cry it out to fall asleep.

Accepted Answer

Temperature : Monitor for any causes of pain, including fever, illness and hunger. If the baby is otherwise well, she can soothe herself back to sleep.

Question 9

why does my baby cry in her sleep?

Accepted Answer

Night Wakenings: Generally, your child is not actually asleep when they are crying.  They have awakened, and are trying to get back to sleep.  We all wake up several times during the night, but as adults we put ourselves back to sleep so quickly, we are seldom aware of it.  Infants have to learn to put themselves back to sleep.  They frequently cry, because they are struggling with this.

Question 10

is it ok to let my baby cry herself to sleep?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Children need to learn how to sooth themselves and the younger the better. If you know she does not need to be fed or changed, is not sick or in pain, then let her cry for a short period of time, i.e. 5 minutes. You can then check on her, even pick her up, but put her back in the crib awake, and leave for 10 minutes. Gradually increase the time periods, and you will be amazed how well she'll do.
