Patient's question:
My baby sleeps very little. He sleeps from 9:30 in the morning to 10:30, and from 1:30 in the afternoon to 3:30, with one feeding in between. At 6:30 in the evening, he needs to be rocked to sleep for half an hour, and by 8:30, he has to be rocked for over an hour before he can be put in bed to sleep. At this time, he must be gently placed down, otherwise he will wake up. It's not until 11:30 that he finally falls asleep, and then he eats every two hours. By 5:30, he needs to be rocked to sleep for an hour, and by 6:30, he is put in bed to sleep for an hour before going to bed.Except for naps, he usually plays a little when he's happy and cries when he's not.

Doctor's answer:
If the baby has persistent difficulty with deep sleep, it may be caused by calcium deficiency.Suggestions:
You can take the baby to the hospital for a trace element check to determine if there is a calcium deficiency. In the meantime, provide the baby with calcium-rich complementary foods such as shrimp skin and pork ribs. Additionally, let the baby get more sunlight, which can help with calcium supplementation.
