Why is the baby crying and squirming with closed eyes?

Patient's question:

The baby cries with closed eyes while sleeping. Could you please tell me what causes infants to cry with their eyes closed?

Doctor's answer:

According to the description, the child's constant tossing and turning in bed suggests two possible conditions: one is irritability, restlessness, and night terrors caused by vitamin D deficiency, and the other is gastrointestinal spasm pain due to various reasons. It is recommended to continue supplementing the child with vitamin D and to get more sun exposure. When the child is sleeping, pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm. If crying occurs, you can rub your hands together to warm them and then apply them to the child's abdomen for warmth. You can also give the child a small amount of warm water or encourage them to have a bowel movement.
