Patient's question:
Since two and a half months have passed, it has started to appear again that crying occurs about three hours after being put to sleep, and it takes several episodes before falling asleep. If the crying is severe, she is woken up. Once awake, everything is normal, and she falls asleep about two hours later. After truly falling asleep, she can sleep straight through until morning...Doctor's answer:
Crying excessively is often caused by calcium deficiency in children. Generally, if there is insufficient sunlight exposure or a relatively small amount of natural light, or if the child is artificially fed, calcium supplementation should begin after the full moon and is recommended to continue until the child is 2 or 3 years old. Before the age of 3 months, infants typically digest cod liver oil, while mothers digest calcium. It is recommended that children take Eke Xin orally and mothers take Calcium Lai Qi D orally. After 3 months, infants can also digest calcium and cod liver oil appropriately, but be careful not to overdo it.For infants aged 1-6 months, in addition to food, they should supplement with 200 milligrams of calcium and 400 units of vitamin D daily. For infants aged 7-12 months, in addition to food, they should supplement with 300 milligrams of calcium and 400 units of vitamin D daily.
