What causes sleeplessness in infants?
Patient: My newborn son is a week old today. He usually doesn t sleep much but tonight all of a sudden he seems to be really out of it. He seems to be breathing fine and pulse is normal but we can t wake him up. He will open up his eyes occasionally but that s about it. Doctor: Hi,Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.Most of the babies suffer from colicky pain during first three months of life.This physiological and clears after 3 months of age.This is because the peristaltic movement of the gut is felt by the baby.Colimex-DF drops 5 drops 3-4 times daily will give relief.Hope this reply is OK for you.Please feel free to ask further queries if any.Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam.
