Patient's question:
My baby is 14 months old. Every night, they drink breast milk 10 to 20 times. For their nap, they wake up every 30 minutes on average. I wonder if they are missing something? If so, how should I supplement it?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, consider the possibility of calcium deficiency or hunger. Around nine o'clock at night, try feeding the baby a meal of complementary food or an adequate amount of formula, which can provide a sense of fullness. This way, they are usually able to sleep through the night. Additionally, avoid vigorous exercise for the baby before bedtime, and do not let them sleep too much during the day—just ensure one nap, lasting 1-2 hours is sufficient. If the symptoms do not improve, take the baby to the hospital for a detailed check-up on trace elements.
