Patient's question:
My baby is 20 days old. Recently, he often sleeps restlessly. He usually sleeps for about 20 minutes during the day and wakes up with any slight movement. Just now, I noticed that his head is all sweaty. Is it possible that he might be calcium deficient? Should I supplement with calcium? When should I start, and what should I use to supplement?Previous Treatment and Effects: None
Desired Help: I want to know what's wrong with my baby?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it may be caused by calcium deficiency. Generally, if the baby does not get enough sunlight or has a limited exposure to it, or if the baby is artificially fed, they should start taking calcium supplements from the full moon. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate the spleen and stomach, enhance appetite, and improve absorption. Western medicine can be used to supplement calcium and digestive vitamins D, which have the effect of promoting calcium absorption. The above suggestions are for the question "Why does my baby who is 20 days old often sleep restlessly recently?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
