1 month old baby scares a lot while sleeping and also while feeding he goes to sleep n again wakes up like he is scared... and sometimes he sleeps with open eyes nd suddenly got scared.... is this normal??
don't worry dis is normal in few babies, my son also scared some time while sleeping sometimes he starts screaming suddenly....make sure put soft light weighted pillow over his half body so that he will think you are still by his side and attach another by his side, m sure he will not scared any more.....
infants like adults sometimes need help to go but if they feed regularly and drink extra water the incidence should be monomial so if you are worried just give your infant 4 oz of nursery water a day in addition to milk. see more... we chose to let our son cry it out when we noticed he had picked up similar bad habits. we had never let him sleep with us, but he got used to being rocked to sleep after i was in the hospital for a few days. it seemed that, every time he came into light sleep, he would realize that he wasn't being held, would start crying until someone rocked him; and after a few nights of that, i knew we had to teach him to go to sleep on his own (again) and sleep through the night (again). we let him cry it out, and it only took a day and a half before he was back to putting himself to sleep and sleeping 7/8 hours at night. he's only two months, and i think the longer you put it off, the more difficult it is going to be. good luck! he need to see his pediatrician to be evaluated and may have ct of his head to find the cause so be treated, see more... Hi Neli,

Baby sleep habits can vary from one another. In general, babies will sleep longer and soundly when they are laid on their stomachs. This is probably because the baby feels more comfortable as if in a hug.



  

Sleeping on your stomach is not really dangerous. Sleeping in this position is actually good for preventing the baby's head from turning flat or flat on one side. By sleeping on your stomach too, the risk of the baby experiencing choking will generally be reduced.



  

However, you need to be more vigilant about watching a baby sleeping on his stomach. Many studies suggest that sleeping on babies is at a greater risk of causing the baby to experience SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). SIDS itself is a sudden infant death and the trigger is not clear. However, it is suspected that SIDS occurs in association with disorders of the baby's brain that control breathing and awakening from sleep. Aside from the habit of sleeping on your stomach, this condition is more often caused by the following factors:







Physical factors, such as damage to the brain, low birth weight (LBW), respiratory infections  

Environmental factors, such as sleeping on soft mats, sleeping together with other people (such as parents or other babies), excessive heat exposure



Therefore, you should avoid your baby from staying in a prone sleep position for too long. When the baby is asleep, you can reverse the sleeping position. You can also support the baby's right and left sides using a pillow while he sleeps on his back to make him comfortable as if he were in a cradle.



  

That's the explanation from us. For more details, please consult directly with your pediatrician.



  

I hope this helps.

Jaundice in babies can be a physiological condition (still considered normal. The reason is because the liver function is not optimal in processing and removing bilirubin from the body. This condition will generally improve and then disappear by itself when the baby is more than 1 week old.



If your baby's jaundice does not improve within 1 month, even though your baby has been breastfed enough, then this condition needs to be examined directly by a pediatrician. It is feared that your child has certain health problems, for example:



Maternal and child blood group incompatibility Abnormalities of the liver or bile ducts, eg biliary atresia, cystic fibrosis, hepatitis Sepsis (blood infection) Infections, eg rubella, syphilis Genetic disorders (congenital), eg associated with red blood cell disorders, certain enzyme deficiencies Effects side of drugs, etc. If the jaundice your baby is experiencing is pathological, then if it is not treated properly, high levels of bilirubin in the blood can accumulate in the brain and trigger brain damage known as kernicterus. Therefore, don't delay checking your child to the doctor, especially if other complaints are found, such as a weak baby, less active, rarely crying, lazy to breastfeed, fever, and even decreased consciousness. Treatment will be carried out according to the condition that underlies your child's complaint. However, in general, not only a physical examination, the doctor will also recommend that your child undergo a thorough examination, such as laboratory tests, x-rays, and so on.



In the meantime, always breastfeed your baby with exclusive breast milk as needed. At the age of 1 month, babies are generally still feeding every 1 to 2 hours. Avoid giving additional food or drink (unless advised by a doctor). You can also put your baby out in the morning sun (before 10 o'clock) to help with the jaundice.



Hope it helps ya..







dr. Nadia Nurotul Fuadah there are a number of possible reasons, but narcolepsy may well be what you have. you need to get a set of sleep tests (it takes about 24 hours in a sleep laboratory). then a proper diagnosis can be made, and all of the conditions can be treated.<br><br>you really need help asap. completely normal! some moms never have any morning sickness and don’t feel pregnant at all. and as for the flat stomach...no worries there either. some people just don’t show for a long time. with my first child i was 4 months pregnant before i was showing. in many cases it can be treated or managed. first step - a medical consultation to rule out medical conditions, medication, etc. a psychological or psychiatric eval can determine if the insomnia is really part of a treatable psychiatric condition, and practicing good sleep hygiene / working with a psychologist can help. http://cpancf.com/articles\_files/sleephygienehandout.asp. see more...
