Patient's question:
The child never sleeps, waking up seven or eight times in an hour during the day, refusing to sleep. At night, they also don't sleep well and keep waking up. Why is this happening? I'm so tired every day, the child is so disobedient. Is something wrong with them?Doctor's answer:
Two-month-old babies who don't nap easily wake up easily. This is not because the child is misbehaving, but rather due to calcium deficiency. Generally, poor sleep quality and easy waking can be accompanied by sweating.After the full moon, fish oil can be introduced to prevent the recurrence of calcium deficiency. It is recommended to undergo a blood calcium test for a definitive diagnosis. Calcium supplementation is advised, which can include taking calcium supplements and vitamin D orally to enhance calcium absorption. Exposing oneself to sunlight more often is also beneficial for calcium supplementation.
