Patient's question:
My child is two and a half months old. Recently, while sleeping, they suddenly start crying out of nowhere. When I hold them and comfort them, they stop crying. The frequency is high at night, especially before midnight. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons why a baby cries during naps at night. It could be due to colic, or it might be a lack of trace elements, leading to reduced blood calcium levels, which can cause increased brain and vegetative nervous system excitability, making the baby restless at night. It is recommended to visit the hospital for a thorough examination and follow the doctor's guidance to supplement calcium and vitamin D. During the day, taking the child out for sun exposure can also help supplement calcium.
