Sleeplessness in Infants From Indulgent Feeding
The most common cause of night restlessness in infants is overfeeding with farinaceous foods. Poor mothers often supplement breast milk with starch rich fare, causing a fermenting mass in the stomach. Digestion is impaired, stools become firm yellow curds, and symptoms include crying, hot skin, tense belly, hiccough, flatulence, and constipation. With dietary adjustment and gentle laxatives, sleep and temperament improve, and plumpness alone does not prove good nourishment.
