Patient's question:
During the onset of the illness, there is flatulence, a flushed face, and intense crying, which often occurs at night. Regarding past treatment and its effectiveness: hot water bags were applied. The desired help is to alleviate the symptoms slightly.Doctor's answer:
It's not necessary for such a small baby to take calcium supplements. Mom should eat more calcium-rich foods or digest calcium, but avoid giving calcium to the baby. Too much calcium is not good for babies at this age, as it can easily lead to the formation of kidney stones. Just digesting fish oil is sufficient, as it can help with calcium absorption.Besides sun exposure, the baby is too young to be exposed to sunlight, especially not in the eyes. Having curds is normal because the baby is small and has weak absorption ability. You can give probiotics to help enhance the intestinal flora.
Since the baby's digestive system is still developing, it's prone to intestinal cramps, but they usually pass quickly. After the umbilical stump falls off, you can start massaging the baby's abdomen daily, focusing around the navel. The skin should just start to wrinkle, and the pressure should not be too strong.
Massage about 30 circles each day. As the baby grows, you can gradually increase the number of circles.
