Patient's question:
At night, the baby often cries and fusses, usually requiring three or four episodes. They have been to the hospital for trace element tests and found to be deficient in zinc and iron. They have been taking iron and zinc supplements for some time, but the crying and fussing are still the same as before. I don't know what's going on. A year and three months ago, the baby would not wake up at night while sleeping. I hope to get some help. Thank you!Medical history and treatment outcomes:

Doctor's answer:
The phenomenon of a one-year-two-month-old child crying during naps is a sign of some calcium deficiency in the child. It is recommended to give the child calcium supplements for treatment. Get more sun exposure, and also pay attention not to let the child play too tired during the day. The symptoms of zinc and iron deficiency can be treated by giving the child calcium, iron, and zinc particles for two weeks. Take one fish oil capsule a day and tolerate it. The above suggestions are for the question "How to deal with a 14-month-old baby crying during naps at night?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
