Patient's question:
Recently, my baby has started having trouble sleeping. Previously, he would fall asleep easily during the day with a little (comforting), but now he needs to cry for a long time before he's willing to sleep, both during the day and at night.Past treatment and effectiveness:
He took fish oil for a month.
What help is desired:
What are some good methods to help a baby who is having trouble sleeping? Also, when sleeping on his back, he doesn't sleep peacefully and often startsle easily. He wakes up the moment his eyes close. Every time, I have to turn him onto his side to sleep.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this situation, it is generally best to spend more time with the baby to make him feel secure. Avoid letting the baby sleep too much during the day and ensure he sleeps at night to prevent reverse sleep patterns. You can tell the baby some small stories or similar things; he will understand. Poor sleep in babies can be related to the heat, but it may also be due to a lack of calcium or vitamin D.Hello, the vitamin D in fish oil is very minimal. It is better to use vitamin D drops, as they have a higher concentration. Additionally, full-term babies usually need calcium supplementation around three months of age. I recommend using Diakid, as it is effective for calcium supplementation. Pay attention to giving the baby adequate water and try to understand what his cries mean. Gradually, things will improve.
