Patient's question:
A baby around 40 days old has recently started crying very intensely every night, waking up frequently after finally falling asleep and crying intensely again. They also refuse to eat milk. The baby is being mixed-fed, but they don't even drink cow's milk. During the day, the baby is quite good, having bowel movements only once every three days, and the stool is of good color, neither too hard nor too runny. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, most cases of babies crying at night are related to calcium deficiency. For small babies, it is recommended to breastfeed. If breastfeeding is not sufficient, add formula milk, but do not use cow's milk. You can pay attention to the amount of sunlight exposure. Supplement with calcium. The above suggestions are for the question "Why has my 40-day-old baby started crying intensely every night for a week?", and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
