Patient's question:
A baby who is over a month old doesn't want to sleep at night, keeps moving her hands and feet, and falls asleep when held, but wakes up again within half an hour of being put down to bed. This happens frequently, and she also cries a lot. Sometimes she cries when she passes gas or has a bowel movement.Treatment history and effectiveness: She has taken Qili San.
What kind of help do you need: Could you please tell me what might be causing the baby to dislike sleeping?
Doctor's answer:
The baby doesn't like to take naps in the evening and is always moving his hands and feet. It is related to the increased nervous excitability caused by factors such as calcium deficiency in the baby. He often cries, and also cries when passing gas and urine. This can be seen in normal physiological conditions, but it could also be caused by indigestion or discomfort in the baby.1. First, consider whether the baby is calcium-deficient, taking into account whether he has symptoms of calcium deficiency such as bald spots on the back of his head or excessive sweating. Alternatively, you can have the baby tested for trace elements. If he is calcium-deficient, you can give him calcium supplements such as Longmu Zhuanggu Granules, which can also help stabilize his deep sleep.
