Patient's question:
My baby has been waking up frequently at night lately; before, they only woke up one or two times at night; after waking up, they would eat some milk and go back to sleep; they haven't even started teething yet; I think it might be a calcium deficiency; I've been giving them calcium supplements; I bought a calcium and zinc supplement for them yesterday.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No specific treatment has been administered.
Desired help: How can I prevent them from waking up at night?
Doctor's answer:
The child is seven months old. The phenomenon of easily waking up during nighttime naps is usually a sign of some calcium deficiency. It's necessary to help the child digest calcium. Fish liver oil should be taken one capsule per day, and it requires patience to take it.Suggestions: Calcium can be taken in the form of gluconate calcium, and fish liver oil can be taken as Icicle. Additionally, you can take Baobao Jinfeng San or Xiao'er Qi Xing Cha for treatment.
The above advice is for the question "A seven-and-a-half-month-old baby wakes up four or five times a night, not due to calcium deficiency." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
