Patient's question:
At night, I can't sleep soundly. I keep waking up. Once I wake up, I feel hungry. If I'm not given food, I cry. If I eat too much, I vomit. Then I don't want to sleep anymore. Occasionally, I have to get up in the middle of the night to play with her. It wasn't like this before. It turns out that about every two months, I wake up 3 to 4 times. For the past two months, it's been like this, constantly waking up. During the day, I'm also fussy. I sleep very little. I take two naps in the morning and sometimes one or two naps in the afternoon. I'm very sensitive to noise. I can hear even a little sound. Is this due to calcium deficiency?Doctor's answer:
A 5-month-old baby has difficulty sleeping during naps at night and wakes up easily. This is a sign of calcium deficiency. Generally, after the full moon, fish oil can be provided to prevent calcium deficiency. It is recommended to undergo a trace element examination for a clear diagnosis. Calcium supplementation is advised, which can include calcium supplements, combined with vitamin D oral supplements, and spending more time outdoors to get sunlight, as sunlight is very effective for calcium supplementation. At 5 months, complementary foods should be introduced to prevent calcium deficiency caused by malnutrition.
