Patient's question:
Usually, I go to sleep at around 10:00 PM, but I need to nurse until 11:00 PM and then wake up after 23 hours. After that, I keep eating and eating, and I don't sleep much during the day. I doze off for a bit, then wake up crying. As soon as I nurse, I fall back asleep for a while. Oh, please help me!Doctor's answer:
In cases like this, it is considered an abnormality in the body's nutritional status, such as a lack of trace elements. If accompanied by excessive sweating at night, sudden jerks during sleep (this is called convulsions in full), and if the child is also easily startled during the day, then it is likely due to a lack of vitamin D. You can focus on careful observation, and during this time, ensure the baby gets plenty of sunlight to prevent vitamin D deficiency. Starting from 4 months of age, you can gradually introduce complementary foods. By the time the baby is 8-10 months old, the complementary foods should be diversified to prevent certain nutritional deficiencies.
