Patient's question:
At night, when it's almost time to sleep, Mom feeds the baby (breast milk), and the baby falls asleep shortly after. It has already become a habit. If the baby isn't fed, it won't sleep. But the baby wakes up after sleeping for a while, and sometimes it wakes up in the middle of the night. Anyway, when it wakes up, it cries. It cries quietly without milk, but as soon as it's fed, it goes back to sleep. What's going on here? How can this be avoided?Doctor's answer:
From the clinical diagnostic information you have described, it appears that your child cries when not given milk at night, which suggests a higher likelihood of suffering from night terrors. This could be an early symptom of vitamin D deficiency rickets caused by calcium deficiency. It is recommended to take vitamin AD (concentrated cod liver oil drops) under the guidance of a local pediatrician to enhance calcium absorption, as well as calcium supplements (such as calcium gluconate oral solution). Additionally, getting sufficient sunlight exposure will help boost the production of endogenous vitamin D3, and your child will recover quickly.
