Patient's question:
My daughter was born one and a half months ago. She often falls asleep but suddenly wakes up crying, as if she's startled. It takes some comforting before she can fall back asleep.Previous Treatment and Effects:
No treatment has been administered.
Kind of Help Needed:
Hello Doctor, what could be causing this?
Doctor's answer:
Based on the above situation, it is considered that your baby is experiencing typical symptoms of calcium deficiency. In the early stages of calcium deficiency, babies may exhibit night sweats, difficulty falling asleep, irritability, and restless deep sleep, among other symptoms. For babies who are breastfed, it is recommended that the mother diversify her diet and expose the baby to sunlight more often to enhance calcium absorption. Giving the baby oral vitamin D drops is also advisable. Starting at four months, you can gradually introduce complementary foods to the baby. We wish your baby healthy growth.
