Patient's question:
The baby is nine and a half months old, breastfed, and doesn't sleep well at night. They cry and fuss several times, and each time, they stop crying after a little milk. Is it a calcium deficiency or are they hungry?Doctor's answer:
Considering the baby's milk intake is not enough, there is a high possibility that the child may be deficient in zinc and calcium. It is recommended to have a trace element test to check. If it is zinc deficiency, taking gluconate zinc or licorice zinc can help. If it is calcium deficiency, taking children's AD digestive can help. Observe carefully for a period of time. Pay attention to a balanced and nutritious diet, including meat, eggs, dairy products, and soy products. Additionally, adults should create a safe and comfortable sleep environment for the child to ensure they sleep soundly. Over time, the child will not be fussy about sleep. If there is no improvement, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination.
