Patient's question:
Zero days since birth, he didn't sleep much. It's getting worse now. He cries when he sleeps for a while and falls asleep again when held. It's the same during the day and night. He falls asleep when picked up and wakes up when put down, then cries. Is it a calcium deficiency?Past treatment and effectiveness: Hasn't been seen.
What help is desired: What should be done?
Doctor's answer:
I believe that your baby's deep sleep disturbances are caused by calcium deficiency, clinically, restlessness, excessive sweating, etc. Have you started complementary feeding for your baby? At this age, it is important to provide complementary foods to support your baby's growth and development. Besides what I mentioned, I strongly recommend dietary supplementation, as it is very safe and will never cause side effects such as medication toxicity or stunted growth. I suggest having your baby tested for trace elements, increasing fluid intake, and providing complementary foods such as rice soup, rice porridge, thin porridge, yolk, fish puree, vegetable puree, tofu, etc.
