POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy9 months agoA. 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.
