Patient's question:
My baby is seven and a half months old. Recently, she hasn't been sleeping well at night and also doesn't sleep during the day. But her spirits are quite good. What could be the reason? Is it possible she is lacking in some trace elements?Doctor's answer:
Please go to the hospital's Health Department to check the alkaline phosphatase in the bones. If the baby grows rapidly, there is a significant deficiency of vitamin D. Energy is released, and tired babies sleep very well. As long as the baby eats well, sleeps well, and is in good spirits, there is no need to worry too much about slow weight gain and not losing weight. These are all inevitable phenomena during the baby's growth process. Before the baby turns one year old, there is uncertainty about whether they are drinking milk, eating food, or sleeping. As long as it does not harm the baby's healthy growth, it is generally ignored.
