Patient's question:
The baby is almost 9 months old. Every time it's time for a nap, it cries non-stop, no matter how you try to soothe it. Before going to sleep, it always cries and only falls asleep after nursing. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Calcium deficiency is one of the primary factors causing babies to have restless naps, and most mothers consider it. Advice: Calcium deficiency and reduced blood calcium levels can lead to increased excitability of the brain's vegetative nervous system, resulting in night waking, night terrors, and nighttime restlessness in babies. The solution is to supplement the baby with calcium and vitamin D and increase sun exposure. The above advice is for the issue of "always crying and wanting to nurse before taking a nap." It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
