When the baby cries easily and has difficulty sleeping, it's important to check if there is hunger or stomach pain, as well as the possibility of indigestion and bloating. It could also be due to calcium deficiency, which may cause night terrors, night crying, and difficulty falling asleep. It's recommended to pay attention to calcium supplementation for the baby.Advice: The baby is still too young, so breastfeeding alone can provide sufficient calcium. The mother can consume calcium-rich foods or take calcium supplements to replenish the calcium in breast milk, ensuring the baby gets adequate calcium. Common calcium-rich foods include: kelp, sesame seeds, milk, fish, yogurt, cheese, shrimp, small dried shrimp, and seaweed. Additionally, taking calcium tablets can enhance calcium absorption. You can give the baby a few Calcium tablets before bed. They are high in calcium, easy to absorb, and highly effective for calcium supplementation. Long-term use will not lead to excess. Once the baby is 4 months old, you can also give them these calcium tablets for supplementation.
It's also a good idea to take the baby outdoors to sunbathe more often, as this can promote calcium absorption in the body. Wishing the baby a healthy growth!
