Patient's question:
Who is not at ease, just woke up less than half an hour ago and woke up again, and continued like this until 4:00 in the morning, and woke up especially early on the third day with good spirits. Some say it's due to calcium deficiency. What kind of assistance do you care about: Hello, what is the reason...Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the baby does not sleep well at night during naps. First, consider vitamin D deficiency, and second, consider the Chinese medicine condition of night crying.First, from a Chinese medicine perspective, night crying in babies is often caused by spleen cold, heart heat, and fright. It is recommended that you seek Chinese medicine treatment for the baby, and prescribe medication based on the baby's overall condition for syndrome differentiation and treatment.
Second, pay attention to the baby's bedding during rest—how comfortable it is, the sleeping environment, and the lighting. At the same time, as you mentioned, the baby needs to be held all the time. It is suggested that you gradually change the baby's habits, as this may be a formed pattern. It is recommended that you put the baby in bed while soothing them to sleep.
Third, avoid overeating at night. The diet should be light and easy to digest, avoid wind and cold, and prevent fever.
Finally, the baby is now 5 months old and should be taking regular calcium and cod liver oil. It is recommended that you start giving them these supplements promptly. At the same time, actively provide complementary foods such as fish puree, vegetable puree, fruit puree, and egg yolk, while also ensuring the baby gets plenty of sunlight.
