How To Deal With A Baby Who Doesn’t Sleep At Night But Sleeps A Lot During The Day?

my son is only 1 month old 1 week old, but my son wakes up every night at 8 until the morning around 5 in the morning. I’ve tried to breastfeed, hold her, but I still don’t want to sleep and always cry. But every morning and evening he sleeps very strongly, I try to wake him up but he doesn’t want to wake up. How do I get my child to sleep soundly at night, not awake all night. I’m worried about his health because he doesn’t get enough sleep. Thank you.

Hi.
Sleep time in infants is generally longer than adults. Babies need more sleep. Likewise with baby sleep time, baby sleep time can be different from adults, so if your baby wakes up frequently at night it can be a normal thing, and does not require special therapy to overcome it.
but it is also possible that your baby often wakes up at night due to a certain disease such as acute otitis media. Acute otitis media is an inflammation of the middle ear. Acute otitis media (AOM) can occur in infants, because of an infection in the middle ear or because there is fluid in the middle ear. AOM can cause symptoms such as the baby looks sick, cries loudly while sleeping, wakes up frequently at night, and has a fever.
but apart from that other conditions that may cause similar complaints such as:
thirsty boy
room conditions that are not comfortable for your baby, such as too cold or too hot
scabies
typhus
Therefore, you can check your child directly to a pediatrician so that the doctor can examine your child's condition directly first.
