Patient's question:
My daughter is already 14 months old. She has a bad habit, which is that she doesn't sleep soundly at night and often wakes up (not because she needs to urinate). If adults pat her, she will continue to sleep, but if they don't pat her, she will definitely wake up and cry for a while. I would like to ask everyone: What is going on? Is it due to calcium deficiency? (She is currently taking Zinc Calcium Special). First follow-up question: She usually sleeps only once during the day, for about 1 to 2 hours. The time is not fixed, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon. Every night before bed, she drinks 180-210 milliliters of milk formula. When she wakes up at night, sometimes she is willing to drink milk formula and has a little.Doctor's answer:
As children grow, daytime activities will gradually increase, encouraging them to move more, but it's important to do so in moderation. Too much activity can disrupt their sleep. Before bedtime, ensure they drink enough to stay full, and also provide other meals during the day so they don't wake up hungry at night. Once they start walking, their nighttime sleep quality tends to improve.Child health issues have always been a concern for parents. When treating these conditions, it's advisable to opt for general treatment. Only by using the right methods can parents help children recover quickly from illnesses without affecting their growth and development. Therefore, it is essential for parents to seek prompt treatment for their children once a health issue arises.
