Patient's question:
Baby boy, 1 year and 2 months, has always had difficulty sleeping. Currently: daytime naps of two hours usually wake up one to two times, and bedtime at 9 PM typically wakes up two to three times during the night. Daytime eating and drinking are good. Had a trace element check in September: Lead 34.0, Copper 21.6, Zinc 68.5, Calcium 2.0, Magnesium 1.43, Iron 7.85. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None.Doctor's answer:
The baby's poor sleep at night can be caused by various factors. It might be due to playing too energetically before bed. It could also be related to indigestion, poor digestion, stomach issues, or eating too much at night, which can disrupt deep sleep.When the baby is sleeping at night, it's also important to pay attention to whether the blanket is too thick. This can cause overheating during deep sleep and lead to restless sleep. Additionally, it's essential to monitor if the baby is lacking in trace elements. Generally, formula contains sufficient trace elements, but the baby's digestive system is still delicate. Sometimes, digestion may be poor, or the body may not be fully developed to process them, which could result in a deficiency in trace elements.
