Patient's question:
My son is six months old. He sweats at night. He doesn't sleep well during the day either. So we started supplementing with calcium.Now we've encountered a problem. If he takes it during the day, he sleeps well. But if he doesn't take it at night, he sleeps for a shorter time.
I don't know if calcium needs to be taken every day? Should it be added both in the morning and at night?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, babies are in a crucial period of growth and development, requiring more calcium than adults. Therefore, it is important to ensure they receive adequate calcium supplementation. Breast milk is a natural calcium supplement, with a calcium-to-phosphorus ratio that is most suitable for absorption by babies. Hence, we advocate breastfeeding.Child health issues have always been a concern for parents. When treating such conditions, it is advisable to consider general treatment approaches. Only by using professional methods can parents help children recover from illnesses quickly, ensuring that their growth and development are not affected. Therefore, it is essential for parents to seek prompt medical attention for their children after illness occurs.
