Patient's question:
Baobao has been sweating easily and crying a lot during his naps lately, especially in the second half of the night. He always kicks off the blanket, and no matter how quickly I cover him back up, he kicks it off again soon after. Baobao is now five and a half months old and has been exclusively breastfed, never having had formula.What kind of assistance would you like: What could be causing Baobao to kick off the blanket during his naps at night? How can this be resolved?
Doctor's answer:
The baby likes to kick off the blanket when sleeping in the afternoon, which might be due to calcium deficiency. Here are the treatments for calcium deficiency in children:1. General treatment. Persist with breastfeeding, provide foods rich in vitamin D (such as liver, egg yolks, etc.) in time, and encourage outdoor activities to increase exposure to sunlight. During the active phase, avoid keeping the child sitting or standing for too long to prevent skeletal deformities.
2. Digestive calcium supplements. Calcium supplements should be taken alongside vitamin D treatment.
The above suggestions are for the issue of "the baby kicking off the blanket when sleeping in the afternoon." I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
