Patient's question:
20 days have passed. Sometimes, the baby sleeps for 5 or 6 hours at a time, and when awake, stays awake for 3 or 4 hours. When awake, the baby always opens their mouth as if looking for food. Sometimes, even right after eating and spitting up, the baby still opens their mouth as if hungry. The baby also doesn't sleep well during naps, often making noises and crying occasionally, but then falls back asleep shortly after.Previous treatment and effectiveness: None.
What kind of assistance is needed: Expert reply.
Doctor's answer:
General newborns should sleep at least 20 hours a day. If your child sleeps less, it indicates a higher level of excitability. If the child has a good medical history and the mother has had a healthy pregnancy, the possibility of low calcium is relatively high.Advice: If your child's condition is caused by low calcium (formally, it should be considered the initial mental symptoms of vitamin D deficiency rickets), it is recommended that you first maintain sufficient breastfeeding while appropriately giving your child digestive vitamin D and calcium supplements. You can use Icicle and gluconate calcium.
