Patient's question:
My son is four months old, weighing 18 pounds, and measuring 62 cm in length. He started drinking formula milk right after his full moon, but no matter how I tried to soothe him, he wouldn't stop crying until he got tired. When he's not crying, he's extremely quiet and playful. He cries about three to four times a day, and I wonder if this is related to a lack of nutrients or vitamins.Doctor's answer:
Hello. You can adjust the diet according to the child's needs. As the child grows, you can gradually increase the food intake. It is normal for a child to cry. They should not be lacking in nutrition. If the child is always crying at night, you should consider whether they might be deficient in zinc. Children who are deficient in zinc may show some symptoms similar to crying at night. Or it could be that the mother often felt upset during pregnancy, which could affect the baby's crying after birth.
