Patient's question:
A two-month-old baby has particularly poor deep sleep, not sleeping during the day and only managing to sleep for five or six hours at night. What's going on? This situation has existed since the baby was 48 days old, with extremely little deep sleep!Doctor's answer:
Every child has a different constitution, and the time spent in deep sleep varies as well. It's not necessary to worry excessively if the child feels well-rested and energetic after sleeping. Poor sleep in children may be related to a lack of trace elements, such as calcium. If you're still concerned, it's recommended to have the child undergo a thorough check-up for trace elements at the hospital. If necessary, ensure the child gets adequate calcium in their diet. Encourage family members to provide appropriate calcium supplementation for the baby, and take the child outdoors frequently to get some sunlight to enhance calcium absorption. At the same time, create a warm and comfortable deep sleep environment for the child to help them fall asleep peacefully and grow healthily.
