Patient's question:
My daughter is already 15 months old and has been weaned for 3 months. However, she still wakes up 3-4 times at night to drink formula, which makes the adults unable to sleep well. Some children sleep through the night after two or three months. Is there any way to solve this? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your baby often cries at night and has difficulty sleeping, there may be environmental factors as well as personal factors. The surrounding environment includes temperature, humidity, air freshness, etc. The baby's own needs include hunger, thirst, urination, etc. It's also possible that the baby may be experiencing night terrors due to calcium deficiency.Your baby is currently in a period of rapid growth, and sometimes calcium intake may not keep up. It's important for the mother to pay attention to her intake of calcium-rich foods. Additionally, the baby's basal metabolism and metabolic rate are higher than those of adults, making them more prone to internal heat. Therefore, it's best not to overbundle the baby with blankets, as this can also cause them to sleep restlessly. Wishing you a happy life!
