Is there a problem with a baby who is less than a week old walking with a jerky, unsteady gait?

Patient's question:

When the baby is less than 12 months old, it starts to walk. Now it walks very steadily, but I noticed that the little one always walks differently from other babies. She walks with a jerky, bouncy motion. I want to ask, why is this? What causes it? Does it need treatment?

Doctor's answer:

Hello,
From your description, it seems that your baby's condition is primarily caused by calcium deficiency. Pay more attention to rest and eat more nutritious foods, such as milk, shrimp, bone broth, and eggs. If necessary, supplement with calcium supplements or other symptomatic treatments to help improve the condition.
I recommend that you visit a hospital for examination and treatment based on the specific situation. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
