Patient's question:
All symptoms: Sleep onset time and cause of illness: Since moving into a new house on June 1st, she has been crying and demanding to go out in the middle of the night while sleeping. No matter how she is comforted, she insists on having an adult accompany her to walk around the neighborhood. Treatment status: Desired help: Consult what is going on?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the child suddenly cries and fusses during sleep, it may be caused by calcium deficiency, which is a symptom of night terrors. If the mother lacks calcium during pregnancy, the child is more likely to develop rickets after birth. You can have a trace element test, take calcium supplements and vitamin D as prescribed by the doctor, and pay attention to taking the child out for some sun exposure to promote calcium absorption in the body.Moreover, there are several reasons that may cause poor nighttime sleep in babies. Sometimes, the child may be overfed, leading to abdominal discomfort, or underfed, causing hunger. Tight clothing or overly thick bedding may also make the baby feel uncomfortable. A cold abdomen may cause abdominal pain, and dry indoor air can lead to upper respiratory discomfort in the baby, all of which may affect the child's sleep. It is recommended that the mother carefully investigate and make timely adjustments.
