Patient's question:
My daughter is already 15 months old and has been weaned for 3 months. However, she still wakes up 3-4 times at night to drink formula, which makes the adults unable to sleep well. Some children sleep through the night after just two or three months. Is there any way to solve this? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your baby often cries at night and doesn't sleep well, there may be environmental factors as well as personal factors. The surrounding environment includes temperature, humidity, air freshness, etc. The baby's own needs include hunger, fullness, thirst, and urination. It's also possible that the baby might be calcium-deficient, which could cause night terrors.The baby is currently in a period of rapid growth, and sometimes calcium intake may not keep up. It's important for the mother to pay attention to her intake of calcium-rich foods. Additionally, the baby's basal and metabolic rates are higher than those of adults, making them more prone to internal heat. Therefore, it's best not to overbundle the baby with blankets, as this can also cause restless sleep. Wishing you a happy life!
