What is the reason why the baby often wakes up at night while sleeping?

Patient's question:

The baby is already four months and twenty days old, but it still wakes up four or five times at night to feed. I don't know why?

Doctor's answer:

The child doesn't sleep well at night, is easily awakened, and has restless sleep, which may indicate a calcium deficiency. It's necessary to supplement calcium for the child. On sunny days, it's a good idea to let the child spend more time outdoors in the sun. Before bed, the child should eat less. Additionally, use Icicle fish oil, taking one capsule daily and persisting with the treatment for two weeks. You can take the baby out to sunbathe, and oral fish oil can promote calcium absorption. Combined with oral calcium gluconate solution, dietary foods rich in calcium such as shrimp skin, pork rib soup, and calcium-containing dairy products can also help with calcium supplementation.
