The baby is four months old and cries at 12 a.m. every night, even though they sleep during the day.

Patient's question:

The baby is four months old and cries at 12 a.m. every night, but doesn't cry during daytime naps.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the symptoms, it is considered that the baby may have rickets (calcium deficiency), which may manifest as poor sleep, irritability, night sweats, and other symptoms.
Advice:
First, you can have a hospital check for trace elements to assess the calcium levels.
Second, it is generally recommended to start adding fish oil supplements to the child's diet two weeks after birth and continue until they are two years old to prevent rickets. If the check shows calcium deficiency, calcium supplements can be given promptly, such as Didac, Calcium Pantothenate, etc.
Third, it is important to ensure adequate milk intake and get plenty of sunlight. Wishing your baby healthy growth!
