What is the reason why the baby often doesn't sleep during the day and keeps his eyes open?

Patient's question:

Tianjing symptom description: My baby is now 25 days old. The past two days, he hasn't been sleeping well during the day, keeping his eyes open, moving his hands and feet back and forth, and even after being fed, he doesn't sleep well. Is it possible that something is missing in his body?
History of treatment and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered.
Help needed: Suggestions, and what medication should be used?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this is a common state experienced during a child's growth and development process. Some children may take longer to go through it, so there's no need to worry too much or seek treatment. Has your baby always been like this, and are there any other symptoms?
First, I recommend checking your baby's tongue color and whether they have bloating. This could be due to indigestion or a lack of trace elements. The condition you described is mainly caused by habitual reasons, which is quite common. I suggest having your child tested for trace elements to see if they are deficient in calcium, and then proceed with further treatment.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
