Patient's question:
My baby is almost three months old. She has been having poor sleep. Now she barely sleeps during the day, even if she does, the total cumulative sleep time does not exceed one hour. At night, her sleep is also not good. Sometimes she wakes up once every hour after eating. It's also hard to put her down in her crib after feeding, and she keeps crying. The baby is very lively, talking non-stop in baby talk with adults, and she also loves standing and laughing. But her sleep is still not good. Could she be missing something?Doctor's answer:
There are two possible reasons why a child may not sleep well at night: one is a lack of calcium, and the other is a common sleep disorder in many children.1. You can now add Ecosprin AD drops to the child's diet, with 4-5 drops daily. Appropriate outdoor activities are recommended, even under the shade of the sun. As the child's calcium levels are supplemented, their sleep will gradually improve. Calcium gluconate can be taken together with fish oil.
2. If the child continues to have this issue long-term, it may be a common sleep disorder seen in many children. Pay attention to keeping the child's sleep environment quiet and dark, and offer more comfort. As the child grows, the sleep problem will likely improve.
