Patient's question:
Baby is 45 days old. The doctor said the baby is calcium deficient and has a shorter sleep duration, 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 broth, which could lead to substandard breast milk quality and result in calcium deficiency?Doctor's answer:
Friend, based on your situation, it is speculated that calcium deficiency in babies may 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 may result in malnutrition in the baby. It is recommended to eat more lean meat in daily life, and fresh fish can be consumed more. Chicken soup, fish soup, and bone soup can also be beneficial. Give the baby digestive vitamin 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. Wish you health!
