Patient's question:
My daughter is now 11 months old. Since birth, she has always woken up at night, with the number of awakenings reaching 6 to 8 times, occasionally waking up 2 to 3 times. After waking up, she must look for her mother to nurse, and only after nursing does she go to the toilet. The doctor said she is calcium deficient, but I don't know the reason. Please help me analyze it. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, it is first possible that the child may wake up due to needing to urinate. If the child wakes up at night, take them for a diaper change and then feed them milk. They should fall asleep shortly after. It could also be due to calcium deficiency. You can appropriately supplement calcium for the child. Additionally, I recommend letting the child sleep less during the day and gradually cultivate a regular sleep and eating schedule. Encourage the child to play during the day as much as possible. Eating well and urinating at night will help them sleep soundly. It's also beneficial to take the child out in the sun during the day.
