Patient's question:
The baby is almost a month old. Since birth, he has been sleeping well but suddenly starts kicking his hands and feet and then cries loudly, as if severely startled. During the day, it's a bit better, but at night it's very severe. He rarely sleeps through the night. Every time he finishes drinking milk, he starts crying. We feed him both breast milk and formula. The current situation is that every time he finishes drinking milk, he cries and misbehaves for about half an hour. At least half an hour. Then he sleeps for another half hour, gets startled again, and misbehaves for another half hour.Doctor's answer:

You can take calcium lactate granules and cod liver oil, combined with sun exposure, to see how effective it is.

Therefore, it is essential to seek professional medical treatment at a specialized hospital for standardized care—this is the key.
