Why do babies suddenly cry while sleeping

Patient's question:

A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they shake uncontrollably. Why does the baby suddenly cry out while sleeping?

Doctor's answer:

The baby might be experiencing calcium deficiency. Common symptoms include irritability, difficulty sleeping, excessive sweating, and frequent waking. In severe cases, it may lead to bald spots on the head. You can supplement the baby with calcium, such as gluconate calcium, taking one dose per day, and also combine it with infant fish oil. Short-term high fever is unlikely to cause complications, and since your baby doesn't show any unusual symptoms currently, there's no need for any tests.
