Patient's question:
A nine-month-old female infant always wakes up at night and needs to be held and breastfed to fall back asleep. After a while, she wakes up again, and this cycle repeats. The infant does not sweat.Doctor's answer:
The child's condition may be due to calcium and vitamin D deficiency. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a trace element examination. When the baby lacks vitamin D, symptoms such as night terrors, restlessness, and irritability may reappear. It is also necessary to consider whether the baby is not being fed sufficiently. It is suggested that you start by supplementing calcium for the child, pay attention to their deep sleep habits, and try to avoid night feedings. When the weather is good, take the child out for sun exposure.
