Patient's question:
Since birth, the child has woken up 4 to 5 times every night. Even after drinking formula milk, it takes half an hour to calm down before falling asleep, which is very troublesome and stressful for the adults! After checking at the hospital, it was found that there is no lack of calcium or zinc. During the day, the child always loves to play and is very messy everywhere. So, please ask the doctor, what is the reason for the child always waking up at night?Doctor's answer:
Now, in this situation, it is considered to be caused by a lack of vitamin D leading to calcium deficiency, which has brought about irritability and poor sleep in the child. It is recommended to supplement with vitamin D. Additionally, the child himself will not sleep indefinitely; the deep sleep cycle is approximately 40 minutes long. After waking up, the child may cry, and it is normal for an adult to comfort him. If there is no improvement, it is recommended to seek medical attention from a pediatrician.
