A. It's normal for newborns to cry and have difficulty settling, even after feeds, as they are still adjusting to life outside the womb. Here are common reasons your 20-day-old son might not be sleeping and crying: 1. Gas or Colic: He may have trapped gas after feeding. Ensure you burp him thoroughly after each feed. 2. Overtiredness: Newborns have very short wake windows (45-60 minutes). If he’s awake too long, he might become overtired and struggle to sleep. 3. Hunger: Growth spurts at this age can increase hunger. Offer more frequent feeds if needed. 4. Discomfort: Check if he has a wet diaper, is too hot or cold, or is in an uncomfortable sleeping position. 5. Need for Comfort: Newborns often cry for comfort and may need to be swaddled, rocked, or soothed with a pacifier or gentle white noise. If he continues to cry excessively, has trouble feeding, or shows other signs of distress, consult a pediatrician to rule out medical issues like reflux or allergies.
