What are the symptoms of calcium deficiency in babies?

Patient's question:

My baby is one month old and shows some signs of malnutrition, such as calcium deficiency. What are the symptoms of calcium deficiency in babies?

Doctor's answer:

If the baby experiences calcium deficiency again, it may cause night wakings and irritability, making the baby prone to bald spots on the head. The eruption of teeth will be slower, and in severe cases of calcium deficiency, it may lead to rickets. It is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly to assist the baby in timely calcium supplementation.
Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to boost their immunity and prevent the condition from recurring.
