What to do if the baby cries at night and doesn't sleep

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Infants have high requirements for changes in their surrounding environment, and noise or ionizing radiation can both lead to night crying. After ruling out environmental factors, it is likely that calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorders are caused by a deficiency in vitamin D. The vitamin D obtained by infants from their mothers can only last for about two weeks, so supplementation is necessary after two weeks, otherwise it can lead to calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorders, resulting in bald spots on the head, thinning hair, and night crying. Relying solely on dietary calcium cannot fully solve the problem, as an infant's primary source of vitamin D is through skin exposure to sunlight. It is recommended that you give your child calcium gluconate oral solution while also spending more time holding the baby in the sun, preferably before 8 or 9 a.m. or after 4 p.m., without using gauze as a barrier. I hope your baby grows up healthy and happy!
