Patient's question:
My baby is 20 days old. Recently, he often sleeps restlessly. He usually sleeps for about 20 minutes during the day and wakes up with any slight movement. Just now, I noticed that his head is all sweaty. Is it possible that he is slightly calcium deficient? Should I supplement with calcium? When should I start, and what should I use?Previous treatment and effectiveness: None
Desired help: I want to know what's wrong with my baby?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it might be caused by calcium deficiency. Generally, if the baby does not get enough sunlight or has limited exposure, or if they are artificially fed, they should start taking calcium supplements from the full moon. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate the spleen and stomach to enhance appetite and absorption, and Western medicine to supplement calcium and digestive vitamins D, which have the effect of promoting calcium absorption. The above suggestions are for the question "Why is my baby not sleeping well recently after being born for 20 days?" and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
