Hello doctor,
My 3 month old baby cries every night for about half an hour before she sleeps. Is this normal? What might be the reason?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
This is a common complaint in newborn babies and infants.
- Is your baby is feeding well and has good weight?
- Does she have normal stools and urination?
- Is there any other health concern?
The common causes of frequent crying in infants could be the following:
- The usual cause is tummy pain, which can be relieved with medications like Simethicone. I am not sure if this medication is available over the counter in your place.
- Look for an ear infection which causes ear pain.
- Any rash in the nappy area which can be irritating.
- At any point in time, stools and urination need to be observed, which probably might be unusual in your baby as you are specifically telling that it occurs before she sleeps.
