Patient's question:
The baby is 40 days old and recently has been crying a lot at night. They also sleep poorly and don't rest well during the day. What could be the reason for this? What kind of assistance is needed: How can it be treated? Should they eat something or take supplements?Doctor's answer:
The baby is 40 days old and has been crying frequently at night recently, often having difficulty sleeping. During the day, the baby also sleeps poorly. This is likely due to calcium deficiency, which leads to poor sleep quality, frequent waking, restlessness, and crying. Therefore, after the full moon, you can start giving fish oil to prevent calcium deficiency.Advice: It is recommended to have a blood calcium test at the hospital to confirm the diagnosis. If the baby is indeed calcium deficient, calcium supplementation can be administered. Oral calcium gluconate solution can be taken, combined with fish oil. Generally, after calcium supplementation, the baby's deep sleep quality will improve.
