Patient's question:
My baby has been waking up frequently at night lately; before, he/she would only wake up once or twice at night; after waking up, he/she would drink some milk and go back to sleep; he/she hasn't even gotten teeth yet; I think it might be a calcium deficiency; I have been giving him/her calcium supplements; I bought a calcium and zinc supplement for him/her yesterday.Previous Treatment and Effect: No specific treatment has been considered.
Help Needed: How can I prevent him/her from waking up at night?
Doctor's answer:
The child is seven months old. The phenomenon of easily waking up during nighttime naps is generally a sign of some calcium deficiency in the child. It is necessary to help the child digest calcium. Fish liver oil should be taken one capsule per day, and it may require some patience to take it.Suggestions: Calcium can be taken in the form of gluconate calcium, and fish liver oil can be taken as Icicle. Additionally, you can take Baobao Jinfeng Powder or Xiao'er Qi Xing Cha for treatment.
The above advice is for the question "A seven-and-a-half-month-old baby wakes up four or five times a night, not due to calcium deficiency." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
