Patient's question:
A newborn baby doesn't sleep well at night, always crying. When picked up, they stop crying, but if put back to bed, they cry again within half an hour. When crying, their face turns red. Could it be gas in their stomach? However, they also have bowel movements, and the stool is very yellow, like the color of pumpkin. They sleep well during naps during the day. Sometimes they make sounds with their mouths, as if straining to have a bowel movement.Doctor's answer:
Based on the described situation, it is more likely that there is a possibility of calcium deficiency. The baby is already one month old and is prone to lacking trace elements, which can easily lead to night crying and restless deep sleep. It is recommended to give the child some digestible calcium to see how it improves. Additionally, you can give the baby some probiotics to regulate the digestive system and prevent the recurrence of rickets. If conditions permit, you can also let the baby get some sunlight.
