A baby over two months old won't sleep at night

In general, a baby over two months old may have difficulty sleeping at night due to hunger, high room temperature, nutritional deficiencies, indigestion, colic, or other causes. It is important to seek timely medical evaluation and choose appropriate treatment based on the underlying cause. Specific analysis is as follows:

1. Hunger

Babies may wake up at night due to hunger. At this age, infants often require multiple feedings during the night. Feeding is a crucial way to meet a baby's basic needs. Ensure the baby receives adequate nutrition when hungry at night. Gradually extend the intervals between nighttime feedings to help establish a more regular sleep schedule.

2. High Room Temperature

If the room temperature is too high during sleep, or if the environment is noisy, or if diapers are not changed promptly after urination or bowel movements, the baby may have trouble sleeping at night. Once parents identify and eliminate these triggers, symptoms typically improve.

3. Nutritional Deficiency

Babies who are picky eaters may not consume sufficient nutrients, leading to deficiencies in vitamin D and calcium. This can increase neuromuscular excitability and disrupt sleep. It is recommended to take supplements such as calcium acetate granules, calcium lactate granules, or calcium carbonate D3 granules under medical supervision to replenish essential trace elements and improve symptoms.

4. Indigestion

Due to immature gastrointestinal function, slow intestinal motility during sleep, or excessive feeding before bedtime, babies may experience indigestion, which can interfere with sleep. Under medical guidance, medications such as compound digestive enzyme granules, lactic acid bacillus granules, infant spleen-soothing powder, or Simo Decoction oral liquid may be used to promote digestion and relieve symptoms.

5. Colic

Colic can cause abdominal pain and discomfort in babies, often worsening at night and making it difficult for them to fall asleep or stay asleep. In such cases, symptoms may be relieved through warm compresses or gentle abdominal massage under medical advice. For severe cases, medications such as *Bacillus subtilis* and *Enterococcus faecalis* di-trichoa live bacterial granules, racemic hyoscine hydrobromide injection, or atropine sulfate injection may be used as directed by a physician.

If symptoms persist without improvement, prompt medical attention is necessary to avoid delayed diagnosis and worsening of the condition.
