Patient's question:
Baby is 26 days old. Doesn't like to sleep, often doesn't sleep for 4 or 5 hours. When awake, he is in good spirits and basically doesn't cry or fuss, but he always makes these little noises. Sometimes when he does sleep, after a few minutes, he'll make these noises for a bit, or cry for a couple of sounds and then stop. It always feels like he's not sleeping soundly and wakes up easily. The times when he sleeps soundly are very few each day. There are only 2 or 3 periods in a day when he can sleep for 3 hours straight. What could be the reason or is there any illness??First follow-up question: What method should be used to supplement calcium? Can fish oil be added when supplementing calcium?
Doctor's answer:
It's possible that the child may be lacking in calcium or has been startled. If you're not at ease, I recommend taking the child to the hospital for a trace element check. If necessary, supplement accordingly. It's advised to follow the doctor's guidance and appropriately supplement with calcium or other trace elements based on the child's physical condition. In daily life, pay attention to the child's balanced diet, add complementary foods appropriately, and take the baby outdoors frequently for activities. Sun exposure is beneficial for calcium absorption. Wishing the baby healthy and happy growth!
