What is the reason for the child's abnormal sleep?

Patient's question:

The child is particularly restless during naps, making a lot of small movements, especially he loves grinding his teeth a lot. Oh, both he and his grandpa are like this, my husband also snores and grinds his teeth just as much. I wanted to say it's a generational inheritance issue, but it seems someone mentioned it's due to a lack of trace elements in the body, but now I don't know what it is. In terms of assistance: What are the reasons why a child grinds his teeth during naps?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, babies of this age are often considered to have vitamin D deficiency leading to low calcium, and hyperactivity. The child may exhibit crying, restless deep sleep, and sometimes accompanied by excessive sweating. It is appropriate to digest fish oil and other vitamin D preparations, which are medications that promote calcium metabolism. At the same time, pay attention to getting more sun exposure. If there is a calcium issue, a trace element test can be conducted to check. If calcium is found to be low, calcium gluconate can be taken. The above is advice on the question "What are the abnormal reasons for children not sleeping properly?" I hope it helps you, and wish you health!
