Accepted Answer

It sounds like your 1-month-old baby has day-night confusion along with possible colic. Many newborns take time to adjust their sleep cycle, but there are ways to help.

Why Is Your Baby Crying at Night?

1️⃣ Day-Night Confusion – He sleeps during the day and is awake at night.
2️⃣ Colic (Gas Pain) – If he cries a lot in the evening and pulls his legs up, it might be gas.
3️⃣ Hunger or Overfeeding – Feeding too much or too little can cause discomfort.
4️⃣ Overstimulation – A noisy or bright environment at night can disturb sleep.
5️⃣ Reflux Issues – If he spits up often, acid reflux might be causing discomfort.

How to Fix Day-Night Sleep Confusion?

✔ Daytime – Keep the room bright, engage with him, and feed actively. Avoid long naps of more than 2-3 hours.
✔ Nighttime – Keep the room dim, reduce noise, and use a soft lullaby or white noise to create a bedtime routine.
✔ Avoid Playing at Night – If he wakes up, keep interactions low-key to signal that it’s bedtime.
✔ Swaddling & Rocking – A tight swaddle and gentle rocking can help him feel secure.

How to Reduce Colic & Gas?

🥄 Burp Well After Every Feed – Hold him upright and gently pat his back.
🍼 Check Feeding Position – Keep his head slightly higher than his stomach.
🚲 Bicycle Exercise – Move his legs in a cycling motion to relieve gas.
💆 Tummy Massage – Use warm coconut oil and massage in circular motions.
🌿 Warm Ajwain (Carom Seed) Potli – Warm a cloth with ajwain, check for warmth, and lightly rub on the tummy.
💨 Keep Him Upright for 20 Minutes After Feeding – Helps prevent reflux.

When to Worry?

⚠ If crying lasts more than 3 hours continuously.
⚠ If he refuses to feed or vomits excessively.
⚠ If his tummy is very hard and bloated.
⚠ If he has a fever or is very irritable.

This phase is temporary, and by 2-3 months, his sleep should improve. Try these methods, and let me know how he does!
