Question 1: My child (28 days old) has not slept in the past few days. He will fall asleep when held in his arms and wake up as soon as he is put on the bed. I would like to ask the doctor what is going on? Dr. Yuan Yunlong’s answer: Babies under 3 months of age are less secure and are in light sleep for about 20 minutes after falling asleep. Therefore, if the baby falls asleep in the parents’ arms and moves to the bed at this stage, it is easier to wake up. After 3 months, you will fall into deep sleep first, and the inability to let go will improve. For babies of a younger age, parents can wait until the baby has fallen asleep for 20 minutes before putting the baby down or coax the baby to sleep directly on the bed. Reducing the number of steps to put the baby down can provide some relief. Babies have a high proportion of light sleep, and it is normal to open their eyes, move their eyes twice, or even cry twice during light sleep. Do not mistakenly think that the baby has woken up, which will cause excessive interference to sleep. Therefore, when the baby cries, there is no need to rush to coax it. You can let the baby hum twice, and the baby may calm down and fall asleep again after a while. But if the crying doesn\’t stop for more than five minutes, parents need to check on the baby\’s condition. Question 2: How long does one tablet of emergency contraceptive pill usually last? Dr. Chen Dan answered: This drug has a very short effect. If you have sex after taking the drug, it will have no effect. Therefore, emergency contraceptive pills only have a protective effect on unprotected intercourse before taking the pill. If you have sex after taking the medicine, you must take contraceptive measures. One or two hours after taking the medicine, if you do not take contraceptive measures, the chance of pregnancy is still relatively high. Question 3: My child is two years and seven months old and occasionally has nosebleeds at night. What medicine should I take? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: It is recommended to check the blood routine to see if there is any problem. If it is normal, you can apply erythromycin ointment to the nasal cavity to check, once in the morning and evening.
