Patient's question:
The baby is already one year old. Recently, the baby often cries and gets agitated at night. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
A one-year-old baby crying at night may be due to calcium deficiency, or it could be caused by overfeeding or hunger. The reason for a baby crying at night is usually calcium deficiency. You can have the baby tested and, under the guidance of a doctor, give them easily absorbable calcium supplements. A one-year-old baby crying at night might also be due to overeating or hunger during the evening, as their stomach capacity is small and they need to be fed more frequently. Mothers should feed the baby as needed. Nighttime crying could also be caused by low indoor temperature or thin bedding, so it's important to ensure warmth.
