Baby Sleeping Upside Down, A Method to Stop Crying! Enthusiastic Netizen (Eight-Dimensional Space QQ 593857723): Hello, teacher, I’d like to share a folk remedy for treating babies who sleep during the day and stay awake at night without using medication. Many babies under six months old experience this issue: they sleep heavily during the day but stay awake and fussy all night. This is called “sleeping upside down.” The treatment is as follows: Hang a pair of the baby’s mother’s pants upside down directly above the baby’s pillow on their bed. “Upside down” means the pant legs are facing upward. You can hang multiple pairs, and they can be left there for a long time (even up to a year). This remedy comes from my wife’s rural hometown in Hunan, where this method is commonly used. Last year, when my daughter was born, she also had this issue, and we used this remedy. My brother-in-law’s family had tried it before and recommended it to my wife, and it worked well. The pants are still hanging above her pillow. That very night, my daughter became much less fussy. Additionally, it’s important not to leave the baby’s belongings (clothes, toys, strollers, etc.) outside overnight, as the “yin energy” is stronger at night, especially in rural areas. I hope this helps everyone! Contributor: Teacher Gong.
