Patient's question:
My baby is 45 days old and being breastfed. It's very difficult to get her to nap; she's clearly exhausted but just can't fall asleep and keeps crying. When she finally does fall asleep, she wakes up after about half an hour. She loves being held and constantly rubs her head against me—is it possible she's calcium-deficient? Could a baby this young be calcium-deficient? I've been taking calcium supplements and drinking milk. Can a urine test detect this? If she is calcium-deficient, what should I do? I'm awaiting a response, thank you!Previous Treatment and Effectiveness:
Her appetite has increased slightly in recent days, and her bowel movements are normal (4-5 times a day).
Type of Help Needed:
How to determine if she is calcium-deficient?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description of your child's condition, consider the lack of calcium in your child. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital pediatric department for examination, treatment, and careful observation of your child's blood trace elements to identify how your child is lacking in trace elements. Once discovered, timely treatment should be administered. Your child's head lice may be caused by poor hygiene. It is recommended to maintain good hygiene for your child and pay close attention to observing your child's condition.
