Patient's question:
The baby is almost 6 months old. Recently, for the past 20 nights, when taking naps at night, she is drowsy and keeps twisting and turning every two or three hours while making noises. During the day, her naps are very sound, her condition is good, and she is also doing well with feeding. Previously, she could sleep for four or five hours straight at night, and her sleep schedule was very regular—going to bed at 10 p.m. and waking up at 9 a.m. Recently, she has been going to bed at 12 a.m. and waking up later as well. I’m not sure if this is due to teething or if it’s because she is in a rapid growth phase at 6 months. Should I take her to see a doctor?Doctor's answer:
This may prompt sounds related to the following factors: First, the blanket is too thick and hot, causing discomfort for the child, and the weight of the blanket needs to be reduced. Second, the child shows signs of calcium deficiency, and appropriate calcium and vitamin D should be given to the child, such as taking calcium gluconate oral solution and cod liver oil, which can gradually and completely eliminate the above discomfort in a timely manner.
