Patient's question:
Baby is 52 days old. During the day, they can sleep for three or four hours in one stretch. At night, they fall asleep for a while and then wake up. When picked up and comforted, they fall back asleep. What could be the reason for this, and what should be done?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, the baby tends to wake up easily at night. This could be due to the weather being too hot or a lack of calcium. It's also important to drink more water, ensure the room is well-ventilated, and maintain fresh air. You can supplement with fish oil and take the baby outdoors to get some sunlight to promote calcium absorption. This behavior might also be influenced by abnormal levels of trace elements, such as zinc or calcium deficiency, which could lead to this symptom. It is recommended to consider getting a trace element test done. This can help identify the issue more clearly and allow for targeted medication treatment to resolve the problem. It is advisable to have the baby examined at the hospital.
