Patient's question:
I'm a mom of a baby, and when the baby was not weaned. I had to wake up many times every night. Now that the baby is weaned, I still can't sleep every day. I sleep in a daze, not fully awake, but my mouth keeps making non-stop "ah-ah-ah" sounds. It has been three months since weaning, and what should I do to return to normal?Doctor's answer:
After reading the description, especially since it's a little baby who has difficulty sleeping at night and tends to wake up easily, meaning they don't sleep soundly. This situation is not uncommon because the baby is back in the world and the environment is very unfamiliar, so they tend to be fussy. It is recommended to let the baby take a nap during the day and establish a fixed bedtime routine at night to help form a consistent biological clock. If the baby wakes up at night, you can gently pat their back to comfort them, but avoid giving them food or hot kisses. Unless necessary, try not to feed them or change their diaper more often. The bedding should be comfortable and not too heavy. If you're still worried, you can check for trace elements to see if there is a calcium deficiency. If there is a calcium deficiency, you can take Gluconate Zinc Oral Solution.
