Patient's question:
50-day-old baby doesn't like to sleep and doesn't eat much milk, has phlegm in the mouth, and has a bowel movement only once every two days, and it's dark green. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Hello; In this age group, your baby may have vitamin D deficiency leading to low calcium and high excitability. The child may show symptoms such as crying, sleep disturbances, and excessive sweating, among others. For normal full-term newborns, preventive supplementation with cod liver oil or other vitamin D preparations can be started from day 15 after birth to prevent calcium deficiency. The occurrence of such symptoms in babies during the postpartum period is normal, and parents should pay attention to whether the child has bloating. Monitor whether the child is well-fed. If bloating occurs, you can give the baby Mimi Ai.
