Patient's question:
The baby is one year and four months old. During the day, everything is fine, and the baby is in a normal state of mind. However, at night, the baby always cries when taking naps, crying with eyes closed. Approximately every hour, the baby starts crying again. When feeding, the baby falls asleep for a while, then wakes up, and the cycle repeats—feeding, sleeping, waking up, and feeding again—without any rest throughout the night. Before, the baby used to sleep through the night without any issues, but suddenly, it has been like this for the past few days. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is recommended to give the child a bath and massage before bedtime to help them calm down. The baby's deep sleep environment should be as quiet as possible, and curtains can be drawn before the 100th day of sleep. Soft music can be played before sleep, and the lights can be dimmed, which is also beneficial for the child's deep sleep. Avoid entertaining the child too much before sleep, as excessive excitement can also help with sleep. Get daily vitamin D and get adequate sun exposure, and supplement with calcium appropriately. Check for trace elements to see if there is a calcium deficiency.
