Patient's question:
The child always cries and has a hard time sleeping during naps; there are no other symptoms during the day. They have already started treatment at 6 months. Previous treatment and its effectiveness: Had their trace elements checked at 6 months, but calcium and iron levels were fine. What kind of assistance is needed: Want to know the reason for this.Doctor's answer:
Low blood calcium can lead to increased excitability of the brain and the autonomic nervous system, causing the baby to sleep poorly at night. The baby needs to digest calcium and vitamin D. If there is a calcium deficiency, the baby's soft spot may not close properly. If there is a zinc deficiency, blisters often form around the corners of the mouth.Recommendations: Indigestion, poor digestion, stomach upset, or overeating at night can also cause restless deep sleep. Solid foods like porridge or noodles should be fed at least two to three hours before bedtime, and a little milk should be given again before sleep.
