Patient's question:
Male infant, weighing 9 kilograms, height 72 centimeters, is it normal? He is very active and also sweats easily. We don't sweat during naps at night, but he sweats a lot. I don't know if it's due to excessive sweating, is it normal?Doctor's answer:
The baby's growth in weight and height are normal, but the baby has some issues at night such as restless sleep, sweating, and being easily irritable, which may be caused by calcium deficiency. Generally, calcium supplementation can be started one month after birth.Advice: In this case, it is recommended to choose either lactated calcium or calcium lactate for the baby. It's best to opt for health supplements and persist with the supplementation. Before the baby turns two, you can also complement it with fish oil supplementation.
