Patient's question:
Generally, I go to sleep at 10 or 11 at night, but I need to nurse until 11 to sleep for 23 hours, then I wake up again. Below, it's always eat, eat, eat. I don't sleep much during the day either. I sleep for a while, then wake up crying. Eat, eat, then sleep for a while again. Oh, please help me!Doctor's answer:
In cases like this, it is considered an abnormality in the body's nutritional status, such as a lack of trace elements, etc. If accompanied by excessive sweating at night, sudden jerks during sleep (this is called convulsions in full), and if the child is also easily startled during the day, then it is likely caused by a deficiency in vitamin D. You can focus on careful observation, and during this time, ensure the baby gets ample sunlight exposure to prevent vitamin D deficiency. Starting from 4 months of age, you can gradually introduce complementary foods. By the time the child reaches 8-10 months, the complementary foods should be diversified to prevent certain nutritional deficiencies.
