Patient's question:
Baby is 45 days old. The doctor said the baby is calcium deficient and has a shorter sleep time, needing to ensure 20 hours. My little one is only 12, and sleeps for 3 hours. The baby eats both breast milk and formula, so why should they be calcium deficient? Is it possible that the mom doesn't eat meat or bone soup, which could lead to the breast milk quality not meeting standards and causing calcium deficiency?Doctor's answer:
Friend, based on your situation, it is likely that calcium deficiency in babies can also cause deep sleep disturbances. If breastfeeding mothers consume a lot of vegetables for a long time, it may lead to poor nutrition in breast milk, which in turn can cause malnutrition in the baby. It is recommended to eat more lean meat and fresh fish, and drink more chicken soup, fish soup, and bone soup. Give the baby digestive vitamins D to enhance calcium absorption. The above suggestions are for the question "Baby is not sleeping well at 46 days." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
