Is Atarax Safe to give to 40 days old?
My baby cries a lot at night he is 40 days old. He doesn't sleep at night and all night he just keeps crying. I burp him after every feed for 10 mins. Even give him tummy time when doing massage. My frnds Pediatrics suggested to give atarax drops. Since he was crying uncontrollably all night I gave him 0.5ml I'm now worried should I have given? What should I do to change his sleep cycle? Please help me it makes me cry to see him cry.

This young baby hasn’t yet set his rhythm with mother- try keeping him awake during evening by playing with, cuddling etc .
Don’t overdress or cover him unnecessarily in hot and humid weather, take care of some impinging knots at the back of the baby in sleeping posture and none the less the wet diapers.
I hope you’ll certainly get over this problem very soon.
Next Steps
Avoid unnecessary medicine including Atarax drop

Good morning
I understand your concern. Firstly please avoid giving atarax drops as such without knowing the reason for excessive crying. Is the baby on Exclusive Breast feeding or on top feed? The possible common causes can be hunger cry, evening Colic etc. If the problem persists you should consult a pediatrician.
Thanks
