Patient's question:
My baby was crying loudly at night, and I couldn't hold him. He would cry for about a few minutes and then fall back asleep. This happened 2 to 3 times throughout the night. He was also kicking and punching. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby may be calcium-deficient. Calcium deficiency can lead to increased excitability of the brain and the vegetative nervous system, causing the baby to sleep poorly at night and frequently cry. Additionally, indoor temperatures that are too hot or too cold, or dressing and covering the baby too much, can also cause the baby to cry. In addition to increasing the baby's sleep time during the day, it is also recommended to take the child outside for more activities, explore the surroundings, and get some sunlight. Calcium can also be digested from the diet.
