Patient's question:
The child is six months old. Lately, for about half a month, they have been sleeping very poorly, which has never happened before. Previously, they would sleep straight through the night, but now they suddenly started having poor sleep, waking up every half hour. I am very concerned about this issue. It's possible that it's rickets. What kind of help do I need: Is the child's poor sleep quality at night related to rickets?Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,Hello, your six-month-old baby has recently been having poor sleep at night, which is likely due to calcium deficiency. This is what we call vitamin D deficiency rickets. It is recommended to supplement vitamin D3 every morning. Get at least one hour of sunlight exposure during the day, and supplement calcium before bedtime.
The above advice is for the question "Is poor sleep at night related to rickets?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
